Admissions needs to work with, not against the football program

Simple. Add 1 more spot to the desired program. Not rocket science.

Exactly and have it there every year for grad transfers

Depends on the program he wants to transfer into

Ideally there is a two-way great fit, but I have to believe Social Work...

Or MPA. Should fit easily given the desire for diversity in BYU's grad programs.

There's a lot of grad programs at BYU, all with different requirements. If one

I think to comply with NCAA rules, it has to be a grad program not available at

And this is when all of the “if you don’t like the academic rigor or the HC, don’t come to BYU” type folks really earn

It's embarrassing that BYU's administration can't figure this out.

Richbyu

IMHO, it's not a good look for BYU if he ends up not coming bc of admissions.

You’d think coaches cleared this prior to recruiting and offering him.

SlantRoute

4/15/19 8:09pm

What, like being pre approved for a loan? No way coaches are able to recruit

Preppy

4/15/19 9:01pm

This far down the line? Yes, they are expected to know.

SlantRoute

4/15/19 9:12pm

Well, you originally said recruiting and offering...I doubt coaches know with
