Would never have been unless he was rumored to be the flag bearer. Probably would have gone beloew the radar to the broad public for quite a while

The vulgarity filled tweets to Wells alone should have disqualified him

Just out of curiosity.... should BYU be actively monitoring its former players and doing background checks

Probably

Fallacy alert: Appeal to extremes.

OK and just because it's public, how are they supposed to become aware of it?

Read the local news? Look at the headlines?

OK — so they should be actively monitoring its former players

No. They should be actively monitoring their brand.

That's a bunch rhetorical nonsense. The point is that just because it's public knowledge doesn't mean it's universal

You think that actively monitoring your brand is rhetorical nonsense?

a priori

10/5/18 12:34pm

Silly comment on your end. Of course they should check on someone representing,

Until today, other than the wells tweet, there hadn't been anything out there

I just want to know why it took CB so long to learn about this

Indy Coug

Only if BYU wants to practice what the preach with higher standards

USMCdad

10/5/18 12:28pm

What about forgiveness and 2nd chances? Or does that apply to higher standards?

IceBlueCoug

I’m all for second and even third chances and of course forgiveness

So did he run the flag out today? Did fans cheer?

The fact he was invited to carry the flag demonstrates that BYU believed he had resolved publicized past mistakes.

As one that doesn't want tahi bearing the flag, I still wouldn't expect some

Yes. When someone is going to represent the university, it would be good to make

If he was knowingly chosen for the USU game with knowledge of his tweets, then

Maybe someone knew something about the tweets, but you can't possibly say that

here's to hoping
