just go to his next best destination? I mean yeah it sucks if someone didn't research this enough to figure out it wasn't going to work out, but I don't think anybody maliciously tried to ruin him. Other schools will take him in a heartbeat.

Little research on grad transfer info tonight. This is on Williams to figure out w/ some help from BYU.

What programs do we offer that they don’t? We are primarily undergrad.

That may be what makes grad transfers hard at BYU. We don't have as many programs & those we

Hasn’t the “different major” rule been dropped?

If it has, it's not showing up that way on the current NCAA site.

I’m seeing that too but I swear I’ve read about a work around for that so it’s

I've read it here on CB. You can't put anything on CB, unless it's true. The MODS would delete it immediately.

So apparently most grad transfers can transfer with the “one time transfer

That would make sense since it’s his second transfer. Collie

It's all on BYU. You don't offer a spot to someone on the roster unless the hurdles are cleared. You don't put up

But it's not a BYU hurdle. It's an NCAA hurdle. Maybe those other schools have more grad programs

It absolutely is a BYU hurdle. As I said, don't recruit a guy, compete with other schools for his sevices, get him to

Suppose that's a fair analogy but not sure we've been having the right conversation about it the last few days.

soupie

Does the applicant have any burden to ensure they meet the licensing requirements for the position advertised?

soupie

4/21/19 12:12am

That should be vetted prior to being offered the position. And likely weeded out prior to interviews.

Yeah, because everyone involved has done this at least 100 times in the past and

Are they options now that he has committed to BYU? Have they moved on to other options?

You're not wrong, but the point is that it's a bad look for BYU.

Yep, this is just another reason why the original post is nonsense.

That’s right. And Hawai’i has an MPA program. So did Collie get a waiver, too?
