Let's call a spade a spade if Williams doesn't get admitted

What is a double minority?

Pimpin4Paradise

4/19/19 12:03pm

Race & religion minority.

soupie

But Mormonism is a minority religion

Nice attempt at deflection...OP premise is spot on

CLCougar

4/19/19 4:05pm

It was a joke.

Punk Philosopher

Maybe I've read too many of other posts

of my other posts?

But no less true

He was recruited (and admitted) by an SEC school and enjoys strawberry Poptarts

I agree that it will reflect poorly...

No one will even care outside of CB.

Future recruiting targets - esp grad transfer ones - might.

unctoothman

4/19/19 12:05pm

Coaches BYU is recruiting against will make sure they know about it.

Eddie

4/19/19 12:05pm

Yup. Perception matters. The church, but not all of the BYU admin, gets that.

unctoothman

4/19/19 12:07pm

Some in church sometimes get it

I had a former director of PR for the LDS Church as a teacher. I wouldn't say

Grad admissions standards don't equate to "can/Can't hack it".

unctoothman

4/19/19 12:13pm

It's not everything, but it's certainly a part of it.

Throwaway59840

4/19/19 12:17pm

This is absolutely not true at all...

Coug

4/19/19 12:10pm

When's the last time a recruit that didn't get admitted to BYU made the non-

Throwaway59840

4/19/19 12:11pm

This is probably the most high profile athlete grad transfer BYU's ever had...

Coug

4/19/19 12:16pm

Can you point me to any non-sports source that is reporting on Ty'Son's

Throwaway59840

4/19/19 12:19pm

Go ahead BYU... try it... I dare you

Coug

4/19/19 12:23pm

Haha. Is that you, Dallin?

Throwaway59840

4/19/19 12:24pm

That's probably a stretch.

Eddie

4/19/19 12:15pm

This is a pretty high profile grad transfer...

Coug

4/19/19 12:18pm

I don't disagree with that. I disagree with the idea they'll never get another.

Eddie

4/19/19 12:37pm

Ok... that's fair... so let me rephrase it...

Coug

4/19/19 12:54pm

That I can agree with.

Eddie

4/19/19 2:39pm

Haha you keep telling yourself that.

ReggaeCoug

4/19/19 12:42pm

I invite you to listen to sports radio after the news comes out. Have fun.

Bluedarts

4/19/19 12:46pm

Again. We're talking about CB and rabid sports fans in Utah. Outside of that

Throwaway59840

4/19/19 12:49pm

Ahh, I should have known your dramatic response was even more dramatic.

Bluedarts

4/19/19 12:55pm

I think you are being naive about who will and won't care about it...

Coug

4/19/19 12:59pm

He doesn't want to hear that. He's convinced he's 100% right

ReggaeCoug

4/19/19 2:14pm

Yes they do. I traveled a lot for business. Tons of people follow every aspect

Division Bell

4/19/19 2:17pm

They follow the minutae of BYU recruiting, too?

Throwaway59840

If he doesn't get in, then I think they really need to stop recruiting grad

Bluedarts

You are correct.

A spade is a derogatory term used for people of African descent.

rockyrd

TIC?

Boanerges

4/19/19 2:26pm

Ok. I've never heard this before.

Wingnut

4/19/19 2:26pm

It is also used in a common phrase as properly used in the OP

LV Mike

4/19/19 2:27pm

Let’s not try to fabricate racial outrage when there is nothing racist intended

pegushin

4/19/19 2:37pm

Spot on! Oh, never mind, I thought you were referring to the OP.

AZcougLawyer

4/20/19 12:55am

It’s definitely a racial slur, at least in the Midwestern cities I’ve lived in

The Chelsea Dagger

4/19/19 3:41pm

Interesting - I don't think in this phrase however

Boanerges

4/19/19 3:47pm

Heard that phrase a lot in Utah but never once I moved away

The Chelsea Dagger

4/19/19 3:52pm

I lived in the Midwest and never heard it used in a racial way

If he doesn’t get admitted it’ll have nothing to do with his race. Stop playing

zerome4sooners

How do you know it will have nothing to do with it?

D.T. Survivor

4/19/19 4:06pm

BYU has accepted black grad transfers before

puntersarepeople

I guess you’re free to think whatever you’d like

zerome4sooners

People play the race card all the time and I hate it

Race influences sooo much in ones life

D.T. Survivor

pegushin

not tied to racist on Wikipedia, rather tied to Greek idiom

ElmerAlbert

but, NPR gives the history of how the term and usage changed

ElmerAlbert

Even NPR said basically

It’s all because of Gurney

What a stupid rumor. Since he committed, let's just expect him to enroll.
