Which- read this- is defined by how many pell grants have been received on campus
Not reducing costs like BYU does and having an inexpensive education . Just pell grants.
That’s why rankings suck. BYU could quadruple its tuition and then do more pell grants and our rankings would sky rocket

I think 12 is a good ranking. Win the bowl game and maybe finish top 10? Not too shabby

As long as they don’t play a top 20 team they might win.

What’s making BYU fall when applicant GPA/ACT seems to get higher each year?
