It’s true though:

Wouldn’t say I hate them but I’ve learned most academics, especially those who work in a department chair capacity or serve on an admissions committee are generally horrible people.

I don't think he would've committed if it had been a long shot

puntersarepeople

May not be in his control.

BYUALWAYSNUM1

4/18/19 5:25pm

They would’ve known about his chances by now

puntersarepeople

This is a solid point. I hope so.

theJuice

Who would have known?

BYUALWAYSNUM1

4/18/19 7:23pm

Coaches would at least have an idea of what is required for grad programs

puntersarepeople

4/18/19 7:45pm

Honest question...do other teams have trouble getting grad transfers in?

Sure doesn’t seem like it.

No. Some BYU administrators have a napoleon complex.

They are the same people that ruin the HC office, hang out in the left lane to enforce the law and love extra meetings

They’re the same people who prefer the Yale Y over the stretch oval Y

People that hang out in the left lane are actually breaking the law. Just sayin'

ManicBlue

4/18/19 5:59pm

Yes. They are also making roads unsafe though they somehow think they're doing the right thing

People who love extra meetings are the worst

trom2foot3

That he comes

The Dark Knight

4/18/19 6:00pm

1% that he gets admitted. Hopefully things change and the admissions dept pull their heads out their butz

BlueFrog

4/18/19 6:04pm

Agree with the sentiment, but grad admissions is not done by the Admissions

The fact nothing official from the school yet kinda substantiates the notion

I think he was still needing to take the GRE when Ty'son made his post.

Holmoe said he would go to bat a big prospect. Does he count?

Who's the head of that department?

CLCougar

4/18/19 8:36pm

There’s no such program. There’s only a Communications Masters and I know who he’d talk to but I’m sure he’s

I did my undergrad in Comms

Yeah--it was a joke...

CommsInsider

Yeah, I'm seeing that. For days I try to reassure people to calm down & we don't really know anything.

soupie

Thank you

Him not getting in now would make it even harder to convince similar recruits

A little insight into why grad admission is tough at BYU

runnincoug

4/18/19 11:52pm

If BYU can’t admit an athlete into the family & marriage masters program, then

Lieutenant America

is that the master's degree he wanted and applied for?

runnincoug

Lieutenant America

4/19/19 5:41am

You realize of course these schools who "have it figured out" are sanctioned

runnincoug

4/19/19 7:28am

Notre Dame is not sanctioned “quite often for breaking the rules”

TheLoanArranger

Not really about taking it seriously. Grad programs are very different. It’s about

I would be equally disturbed by that, yes.
