But that is demonstrably wrong. BYU football and basketball may be down but athletics as a whole is very high. I believe they are top 10 in the directors cup standings this year, that means “athletics” are far from “crippled” at BYU. In fact they’re thriving. Now most of us don’t care all that much about some of those sports but you did mark that as the category and yiundid say athletics not football.
