Who wants to take a spot in a grad program away from someone with better qualifications simply because the other student plays football?

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

Undergraduate athletes don't get in solely on academic merit.

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

Richbyu

But which program is an essential question in the formula

The Dark Knight

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

Richbyu

4/20/19 9:37pm

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.

Richbyu

4/20/19 9:49pm

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

Wingnut

4/20/19 9:52pm

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

And... the Comms School is completely seperate from BYUtv. Not at all related other than Comms grads
