Tell me Niumatalolo doesn't deal with way more limitations than Sitake.

No one is getting kicked out of the the Naval Academy for having beer or sex.

Beer: They might be if they're < 21. Sex: depends on if they're accused of rape.

I may be wrong but I think the drinking age for military personnel is 18?

Not true. Unless they are stationed somewhere with a lower drinking age.

They’ll be put on restriction, but not kicked out.

If they get caught underage drinking multiple times they will be kicked out

For sure, I didn’t mean to make it sound like they turn a blind eye to it.

Metallicat

Like literally any other school?

Resurgens

12/4/19 6:59pm

And no one attending BYU is expected to serve in the military after graduating.

ataylor

They have different ones

2FarGone

Do we ever have players who are also in ROTC? They have a committment to serve.

I don't think the Ivies offer any athletic scholarships either.

Only need based.

They don’t. Similar need based. But their “offers”

Yeah I don't think it really helps them much, and their recruiting ranks show it

The limitation is they can’t admit anyone they want. It’s easier for football

OK, I need an explanation on what offer Bronco rejected

2FarGone

Bronco was under contract another season

When no extension was offered, correct. He looked elsewhere. Bronco was 9-4 in

12/4/19 2:04pm

Meh, Tom chooses to not lock up a coach that has just won 99 games in 10 years

777

Tom only does what the BOT wants him to do

donnerstag

12/4/19 2:29pm

I know you don't have any proof on Bronco rejecting an offer

kimdaddy35

Who has actual proof of anything? Either believe it or don't. Simple

ReggaeCoug

12/4/19 1:54pm

Bronco was under contract with BYU through 2016

donnerstag

12/4/19 1:55pm

Bronco didn't get an extension before his final year started.

displacedute

12/4/19 2:21pm

Bronco's final year of the contract was 2016

donnerstag

12/4/19 2:32pm

Right. He left in 2015, with one year left.

displacedute

12/4/19 2:34pm

BYU did the exact same thing in 2013

donnerstag

12/4/19 2:43pm

The article on Niumatalolo basically says exactly what I am saying

kimdaddy35

12/4/19 2:24pm

I think Tom was going to make him hire Detmer

displacedute

Yes. That was the string attached to Ken's offer

donnerstag

12/4/19 2:33pm

That's how BYU does most things

donnerstag

12/4/19 2:38pm

So you are just going to assume that Bronco negotiated behind Tom's back
