Honor code. My roommates and my friends on the football team that were kicked out of school would disagree with you. Even glen kozlowski was kicked out of school because of the honor code. People didn’t cry about it as much and it. People still get away with a lot. No difference.
Your negitive perception of BYU’s desirability as a destination says more about you than reality. Sure we lose some but for the most part we win the head to head now that we recruit and quit requiring players to recruit us. Also respecting legacy kids not disrespecting them has been a big win. That is why empy is here. He always wanted to be here but bronco didn’t want his entitlement. .............Not a differance that is major not that changed thee opportunity for a championship
President holland was not more invested in winning than we are now. That is just silly. If anything I would say they are more active with athletics now and the missionary aspect
In the 80’s you needed to play in one of the four bowls to play for a national championship. The rose the orange the sugar and the cotton bowl. That was it. There was one at large with no access to any conference other than the big ones due to contracted participants. Locked down.
You are wrong about access. 80 G5 schools using the same formula for 1 spot is not great access. 65 going for sixty are better odds. You could go undefeated in G5 and not make it.
Recruiting is the same or better now.
