mathematician, scientist, dancer, writer, etc.

Sometimes people poo-poo athletics and don’t hold it to the same moral high-ground as other academic pursuits. Idk why. Everyone has different talents. Why look down our noses on some?

I don’t care if our football players can pass a 5th grade reading test. They add value to BYU in their own unique way. Education is obviously very important, but I’m probably opposed to any academic requirements keeping players out.
