Wingnut Equal Opportunity Jack-Yewt

His ability to play football has absolutely nothing to do with the graduate program that he's asking to get into. Conversely his ability to play football should have no bearing on his admission into the program.

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?

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

Wingnut

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.
