Funny how BYU students are suddenly nerds when your kids can’t get in

I called byu nerdtown when I was there 20 years ago, but nice assumption.

As far as I know, the "tunnel singing" thing isn't a new phenomenon.

That's kinda the definition of 'Nerd'

Thanks for trying

Only a nerd would look up the real definition.

Even transferring is hard. My son did not get in with an Associates degree.

Getting accepted as a transfer depends on your GPA; must be atleast 3.85.

that's the average for out of high school, for transfers it's 3.3 I think

I don't believe that for a second. Athletes certainly get breaks. If you're a good athlete with a 19 ACT score and a 2.5

IIRC BYU does not accept the NCAA minimum

I'll buy that. You scarecly have to know how to read to clear the NCAA minimum.

I am quite sure that Utah uses its full allotment of non-qualifiers:

Utah does occasionally. I think they only allow one per team every couple of

That's what the conference allows. Utah then limits them so that they get spread

That’s a conference rule, not a Utah rule. MWC allows none.

The issue is BYU coaches getting a pass for recruiting failure based on falacy
