Ok here goes

I know someone who was told by President Eyring himself that he would like to see BYU model its football program after Harvard’s. One that is full of very smart students whose priority is education, not football. That the BYU football program got “too big”. And that he’s not the only apostle to feel that way.

Even I know that's not right.

How so?

Elder Gong is not a member of the Seventy. He's an Apostle. Just outdated info.

Yep- Oscarson is no longer General YW President

Doesn't look like too many sports friendly people.

Archaea

It uhm. Does not.

9/4/19 4:08pm

That group appears to be willing to sacrifice BYU sports on the altar

Archaea

9/4/19 4:12pm

Do you even know any of them?

Brigham

9/4/19 4:20pm

His attitudes on understanding non-compliant behavior

You have a strange impression of Elder Bednar.

kccougar

9/4/19 4:37pm

Elder Bednar is not a sports fan,

How do you know about that?

Dr MoBYU

9/4/19 7:06pm

Elder Bednar’s personal feelings have nothing to do with it.

9/4/19 8:11pm

Are you saying the feelings of the BOT don’t influence BYU football?

run26

9/4/19 8:15pm

His sports “fandom” didn’t save Ricks... And isn’t doing BYU any favors either

billyrust

You've apparently never been in elder Hollands office or ever spoken to him at

Brigham

9/4/19 4:10pm

How do I know this is the BOT? Because it was reported that it was....uhm

9/4/19 4:11pm

Just curious, I don’t know much about how one picks a BoT, but why no educators?

Joe Banks

9/4/19 4:19pm

Those are usually tied to academics or big donors or politics.

Archaea

9/4/19 4:25pm

Other than Elders Holland and Bednar who were both university presidents?

Greg Kite's 'stache

9/4/19 4:42pm

Or Elder Gong, a Rhodes scholar holding two degrees from Oxford, and

Or President Eyring. Ricks College President 1971-1976

Because educators ruin education administration.

9/4/19 8:13pm

We need to get Elder Gifford Nielsen in there!

letthewookiewin

9/4/19 4:20pm

Great idea. And Elder Durrant.

D.T. Survivor

9/4/19 9:05pm

Elder Sikahema as well.

And if that group was not behind BYU sports they would not have invested

I thought stadium renovations come from private donations.

baldcoug74

They just wanna make sure that stadium of fire continues each year

Can I provide some second hand info here that might help?

Sure, share it. Why not?

I’ll be honest, I think this is true about college football as a whole

9/4/19 6:42pm

All sports are weird when we think about it. Why do I care about the Dodgers...

COACHdrn

9/4/19 9:10pm

It’s an escape from reality

run26

9/4/19 9:19pm

That doesn’t surprise me that he would have that view point.

9/4/19 7:28pm

Let's shoot for Stanford rather than Harvard

Preppy

9/4/19 7:56pm

That is too bad that he feels that way. But they really need to say what they

9/4/19 11:02pm

I think that's a fair statement but I'm not convinced Elder Eyering is going to

9/5/19 7:56am

I always hear that BYU sports are self-funded (football essentially funding all)

Coug Man in Florida

9/5/19 10:06pm

Great another rumor that is 100% heresay (3rd degree at that) that will be

akmewg

9/4/19 11:51pm

Not a rumor

run26

It actually is, it may be true (I’m not saying it isn’t true), but you didn’t

akmewg

9/5/19 7:46pm

We could argue about this all night

run26

9/5/19 8:56pm

Let’s do this all night 😉, But on a message board yes, it’s a rumor. Like I said

akmewg

He did say he wouldn’t share

RE: In case anyone was wondering this is who makes up BYUs BOT.

Coug Man in Florida

9/4/19 8:47pm

not accurate

9/4/19 9:43pm

Okay. So it’s changed. The first presidency and quorum of the twelve are on the BOT. I don’t think some people realize

9/4/19 9:49pm

Wow. I hope you guys don’t fight with your spouses this way
