Did you really think all sports are on equal footing?

I hope not because that is a poor line of thinking. Why do 65,000 show up for BYU football and only 65 for a cross country meet?

Why do 17,000 show up for men's basketball and less than 1/20th of that for women's basketball at BYU?

These aren't hard questions.

The same way they magically cured myocarditis so it isn't an issue - they lie.

Myocarditis was just a lie. So stupid.

Money would be the only reason.

It’s going to be a big argument by the athletes who want to get paid

Certainly not in all aspects, but shouldn’t they be on equal footing with regard

I get the point, but simply saying we can't afford to pay for your testing
