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

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

Ugh. Drama.

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?

I don’t get it—why have we essentially dismantled a nationally-elite program?

Sad to see BYU's most dominant sports program gutted.
