My point remains. He needs to get into the graduate program based on Merit.

Wingnut

4/20/19 1:59pm

His merit is he has a degree while playing major college football. How many grad students can say that? NEXT!

monkeycowboy

How is all of that going to help him succeed in a graduate program?

Wingnut

Because playing major college football is the same as working full-time+ while

Nothing stopped you from doing all the things that you need to do to play college football

Did you get a Masters in Communications? Ty'Son isn't pursuing an elite program

But which program is an essential question in the formula

I heard he wants to do the broadcasting journalism program.

Except there isn't one-- just Comms Studies.

Check your facts Yes there is. Masters of Mass Communications.

If he can get in on his own Merit I have no problem

If it's that easy, he should have no problem getting in without help

Wingnut

4/20/19 9:39pm

Problem is that USC has a MA in Mass Comm. He has to be admitted to a program at BYU that USC doesn't have.

Look. They easily use BYUtv component to make their program unique.

You're spinning. Nobody's saying any of this. Let him earn his way in just like any other student.

No one said it was "risky". I'm saying he has to meet the NCAA criteria for a grad transfer and
