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

ColdFusion1989

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

Nakedbootleg

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

ColdFusion1989

9/14/16 11:06pm

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

No tents or cots has been a rule for football forever - the fire marshall won't

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

Take that up with the fire marshall

That's the point. A complete lack of common sense among thise in authiroty

If you can't follow the small rules how will you learn to follow the 'big' rules

Are single creepy graduated men still allowed? TNT?

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

KingDave

9/14/16 11:04pm

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?

KingDave

9/14/16 11:09pm

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

ColdFusion1989

9/15/16 6:46am

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

MwangoleCoug9

9/14/16 11:12pm

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

ColdFusion1989

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

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

Who's complaining? This sounds like students want front row without the

So they make it so more people can camp and you're mad? And the neighborhood is

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

Duke Silver

^^^ This is how it was.

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

StalwartBraveTrue

You are reading wayyyyyy too much into this.

molodyets

9/15/16 1:56pm

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

StalwartBraveTrue

9/15/16 6:01pm

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

So is there no camping anymore?

Yep, and it was that heavy wet snow too.

Perfect example. Up to that point camping out had been working fine, so they

These rules are meant to prepare you to shop at Best Buy on Black Friday. #moses

That's what the pro tips are for. It makes it sound laid back. Ha ha

ColdFusion1989

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

Not seeing anything too crazy or restrictive there... What's the issue?

BYUtka

You know how the Jews missed the mark being overly focused on minor details?

ColdFusion1989

9/15/16 7:11am

Yes, Jews = The ROC

nukeduker

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

Is it normal to force students dressed in opposing colors to the back?

Usually other schools verify student status by ID and then do nothing-

As someone who helped make these rules....

The main worry from students is ROC board members

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

That seems like a good guideline and a sign of good leadership.

Here's the thing. Students love student-led initiatives. They love how the whole process evolved over time.

Exhibit A that some Cbers will whine about ANYTHING done by BYU.

Cougar Insider

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

jsohsimth

Agreed. That's why the 5 person rule was created.

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

djbryant79

CougarVeteran

After years of student feedback, Gonzaga's rules did serve as inspiration...
