BYU and Utah aren't playing by the same rules. Almost not worth getting upset...

Weak, lame excuse. Why are Stanford, ND and others better than BYU even with

Because they aren't in Utah and have no honor code. Pretty obvious why

Bronco only admitted players with a 3.0/24 ACT minimum

Let's sit back and wait for Regals rebuttal. Maybe he'll challenge another point by OP

The biggest difference is an 18 ACT athlete isn't going to compete well

The "rigors" of BYU's undergrad programs are being greatly overstated.
