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

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

How many ute football players have ever been academically ineligible?

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

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

Bronco only admitted players with a 3.0/24 ACT minimum

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.
