Is why people dislike BYU. If someone chooses to go somewhere other than BYU, does that mean they can’t do as much good for the Church? That’s essentially what you’re saying.

Incredibly excited for our schedules ahead but the fact remains we are not P5

this is a what if thread... if we had all of the best LDS athletes in Provo we'd be final 4 good. That means we'd be ND.
