whole, poorly run. The bureaucracy is unbelievable and unwieldy. The command-and-control culture is ridiculous, and the arrogance is at times astonishing. And, yes, that culture seeps into athletics.

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

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

1/25/20 9:48am

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?
