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

Can you expand upon the lower academic standards?

Regal Ute

Higher acceptance rate at Utah with lower average GPA and ACT scores.

Duke Silver

LOL. I guess you expanded enough for our ute friend.

Is there even an acceptance rate at Utah? How many applicants do they turn away?

My bad, I thought the original post was in reference to football players.

How many ute football players have ever been academically ineligible?

Utah's current acceptance rate of 77% is weak, and exactly what BYU claimed its

Acceptance rates mean very little

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

DoseOfReality

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

I guess you're not challenging all the other points made?

The PAC 12 forced Utah to jump to a 2.6 GPA and 18 ACT

Utah's 25th percentile ACT is 21; BYU's is 27

Come on, man. I thought this discussion was in the context of football players.

Bronco only admitted players with a 3.0/24 ACT minimum

Bronco is no longer with the program.

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

LOL. What points are there to challenge? I actually agree with the post. I just

Football players do not gravitate to schools that are academically challenging

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.
