FanofBYU Walk-on

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

Just because he announced his decision to pursue BYU doesn't mean there wasn't still work to be done. I haven't heard anything to indicate whether he has even taken the GRE. Perhaps that's why we haven't heard anything yet. They're probably helping him prepare to take the test. If only this whole college bribery scandal hadn't come to light. They could have found someone to take the test for him.

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

May not be in his control.

4/18/19 5:25pm

They would’ve known about his chances by now

This is a solid point. I hope so.

Who would have known?

4/18/19 7:23pm

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

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

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

That he comes

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

BlueFrog

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

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

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

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

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