Good stuff. Also, I'm impressed by your calm and measured defense of your son's situation. Seemed like some posters
can't say anything positive or even reasonable. It can be tough to remain calm as you did. Well done dad.

Dumb question: Can BYU help him get in as a preferred walk on? IOW,

I think that only assures him a spot on the team, but doesn't guarantee he'd be admitted to BYU.

If BYU offers him PWO status, he should be able to get in with those academics
