Point is that BYU gave Jimmer an awesome platform to become uber-famous.

I would find it 'beyond shocking' if Church asked Parker to not go on mission.

The "Jabari was told not to go on a mission" has 0 chance of being true.

The church would never encourage someone not to serve no matter their situation

Because they don't do that, ever. They used to, but that was a long time ago.
