You have no idea how much thought it was given, or more importantly

How much thought it deserved. These anecdotes aren’t worthy of the outrage. BYU gets approached ALL the time with stuff like this. Just because you are giving it away doesn’t mean it’s worth their time to use it.

Speaking of recruiting. I own a software company that the U uses to recruit.

Is your software called PAC 12?

BYU has a powerful story. They just need a better way of telling it to 18 yo’s

sandYego

agreed...they’re not interested in their Grandad’s BYU

You sure you have it in you to call Kalani a buffoon?

Nope. New administration.

Who was it presented to? Jack D? Did this make its way to Kalani/Tom?

BlackBart

hate to break it to you, if it's the new admin after Bronco, then it wasn't a gamechanger. The game changed before that

I just think it's double speak. Doing anything "extra" at byu is seen as perhaps

Dude. Do you not spend time on this board?: There are so many examples of byu

Ash

And even more examples of CBers making assumptions and being wrong.

I think this anecdote supports your point.

I used this story to show the contrast.

sandYego

I still reject your premise... it’s about coaching and players

PJMort

Good point. Congratulations. Hope you’re not leading an organization though.

sandYego

Thanks.

If it is about coaching and players, and if sandYego has a product to help land

You and I probably agree on that.

I really don’t have an axe to grind. I’m just a passionate fan.

On the same token, why blindly defend the administration?
