The ROC board is working hand in hand with marketing to only have 2-3 members there that know the drop location. Hopefully that seals leaks.

Keep in mind there are close to 150 front row seats available. That's 30 tent cards.

These new ROC rules really bug. Way too defined, kills some of the game week fun

But if there aren't enough rules BYU won't be special anymore.

Oh trust me, it'll be plenty special.... Teach the people true principles

ColdFusion1989

Exactly. Principles. No tents goes beyond a rule and teaches a principle

Yeah, because we need that fire escape open for the 63k people trying to empty

They all seem reasonable to me, but maybe that means I'm old.

KingDave

They aren't unreasonable. They take away from what it was.

ColdFusion1989

9/14/16 11:08pm

What about going to class? Or work? Or dates?

Exactly. One person could hold down the fort for a bunch of people.

It's mostly because students were complaining they had to camp all week

That's great, but the camping tradition was creating an awesome atmosphere.

The biggest issue was NCMO increased by 13.6%....

There has to be a happy medium. And thats why they are constantly trying to

I don't like the idea of having to get a line pass. Show up with your ROC pass

The line pass is similar to what Duke dies for bball. I don't have a problem

You are reading wayyyyyy too much into this.

Probably right. 30 yrs of this sort of stuff makes me a bit sensitive.

Stop complaining, in my day you couldn't even have a line. Get off my lawn!

It was actually all the students over 3 years that came up with these rules.

Yes, Jews = The ROC

No, ROC = Mormons. ROC board (I assume) = Jewish high priests of old

Valid worry. But the students have designed a safeguard for that as well:

Only problem I had with the ROC line was people saving spots for seemingly their entire ward.

Duke has similar rules (differs for undergrad and grad students)
