The obvious question is. What got her so interested in boxing and MMA? Was she

dating a fighter? So BYU needs a wrestling team, I think is what you are really saying. There are girls at BYU who love and study fighting and MMA. We are headed the the Big 12 and we have no wrestling team.

Chael Sonnen, Cael Sanderson, Rondo Fehlberg, Mark Schultz, Ben Ojai, Brandon Ruiz, Tank Abbot, Aaron Holker, etc. etc. How are we going to find a man worthy of a lady wise enough to appreciate the fighting arts!?

Also yeah, BYU parking brings back plenty of nightmare for 80% of us.

Problem with BYU administration re: Heritage Halls resident parking

Yes, you’re making too big a deal of this.

They need to take responsability. In misleading people, you've created a bunch

It’s February. Original email went out in August.

But they did make their decision partly based on being able to park at the MC.

How would they create a bunch of new parking lots overnight?

I don’t think the speed limit example is comparable. Part of the reason they

2/5/23 4:42pm

I don’t think he is. Parking west of LES and walking? That is a safety issue IMO

"posted speed limit being wrong and then wanting them to change the speed limit"

I would imagine they would argue the lots are clearly labeled A or Y, Not B.

That's irrelevant to my point

It is unclear if it actually says that. Only the email has been confirmed as

There’s no demand for parking. -Carri Jenkins, probably.

Were they Heritage Halls residents? I definitely did not misread.

Yes they were. And that is the overflow location for Heritage.

MickShrimpton

Any reason you can't park up by the MTC? That's a lot closer

Fewer spaces. Fills up quickly.

They require kids to move their cars out of the LES lots on game days.

Stop the battle for “all the students” and just focus on your daughter.
