If Ty’son can’t get into BYU, it is time to fold up the sports program.

This is the exact type of young man that should be at BYU and given the BYU experience.

If BYU doesn’t want to play to win, then stop playing sports and wasting people’s time and money.

Not to mention how many people in his family will be introduced to the gospel and learn more about the church. Or he can not get in and they can all hate the church.

For undergrads I have no issue with that. Grad school is different.

Grad school is harder. More demanding. More expected of you.

If you can't manage a B average in HS, you will die at BYU, academically.

Especially if you have to work your tail off for it.

3.0-3.9 is a very wide range, add athletics, hard to judge

Right, but if you're not cracking a 3.0 in high school, you're probably not up

No, but if you can't manage a B average at most HS, you are not ready for BYU.
