I understand both sides...I also understand BYU will do what it wants. Not worth the ranting for me anymore.

BYU w/ out the HC and academic standards is USU.

I just don’t understand why it’s so split. Most wish we were UVU

I keep saying over and over, let him get in within the rules on his own merit. How hard is that to understand?

If it's not a very good program then he should not have any problem getting in under his own Merit

If it's really that easy, he should have no problem getting in without help

Wingnut
