My ADD wouldn’t let me read past the 3rd sentence. I am sure it was a great post though.

Exactly. I actually wrote some of that and then deleted it because it didn't seem to fit within the context

And people, IMO, are better off having BYU-I over Rick's anyway. Educationally

Are you willing to submit that the name of BYU-Idaho was inspired?

Absolutely. We’re seeing that playout today.

Okay. That's a fair answer.

In the first paragraph of the news release he linked it said. Here's the quote

Several of us asked for detail.

Too long. My condolences on your ADD.

So I missed the part about why sports don't fit into the model...

Sounds like cost. Most athletics programs are not self-sustaining.

So with such a broad reach BYU-I’s football will have access to P5 talent worldwide?

I don’t see a Ziggy coming to play intracollegiate football at BYU-I.

If you weaken entry standards, you are prone to weaken the overall rigor.

BostonCougar

6/22/19 5:06pm

I don’t know but my guess is the rigor is region dependent.

What are the difficult pre-recs to join Pathway that you are referring to?

Seems to me a move to 4 year is a better reason

In one sense BYU-Idaho is a sort of U of Phoenix.

Yeah, I read some comments in the local paper at the time
