Widows mite? There are plenty of $$ that

would be made available if BYU decided to loosen the reigns (metaphorically speaking) and tell the football program to go for it. (Within NCAA guidelines and within honor code.) Don’t think anyone is suggesting the church use tithing funds to support athletes.

I guess it depends on how you define missionary tool.

Missionary tool or missionary liability?
