I can confirm the rumor has been around forever.
Fall and spring break probably aren't there so they can fit in education week.

The rumor dates from at least 1992-3 (when I first heard it in seminary)

You've got to figure that with the hundreds of thousands who have attended BYU

The only thing I question is that, to be honest, it was/is common for BYU

Of course it's possible that it's true... even probable imo. When you have kids

i never had a spring or fall break when I went to byu..... Not when I was there.

But the rumor was anullment, not divorce . . .

It goes back much further than that.

they still have a fall break

Really? They didn't when I was there.

Thanksgiving Week was no break?

Most schools have a fall break in October as well.
eddog
8/23/14 10:02am
I don't think BYU has ever done that.

I was referring to the break between summer term and fall semester.
Mr Bassman
8/23/14 9:57am
I'm sure those two weeks are plenty enough to be a break.
Mr Bassman
8/23/14 9:58am
Most of the students are homeless during this period anyway.

No they don't. Thanksgiving break isn't the same as Fall break.

We always just stuck a racquet in our window. Much cheaper.

This is another great provo urban legend. Is there any truth to it though?
OlanchoCoug

It's false because it happened at Ricks

Before my mission, the stake president asked me if I had ever been married
