Athletic department is in shambles. “Spare me, there’s more to the story”

This has everything to do with not being part of athletics - the school moved extramural to Student Life

I would love to know who was behind that decision

the question is, "who's responsible for moving it under student life?" fire them

Isn't Vern Heperi (Dean of Students) over the Office Of Student Life?

There always is and it's never BYU's fault

DapperDan

It's probably primarily the church's fault first, and BYU's fault second

Rugby was not in the athletic dept prior to Student Life.

BYU Rugby was under extramural sports since at least the 1980's (until 2011)

Marketing maybe? Travel? Resources like use of facilities?

Seems very short-sighted. The Church has the money. Why not feature these teams
