How does UVU get talent like Aziz Bandaogo and BYU can only get a Noah Waterman?

We said the same at the end of the rose years when pope was at UVU

That’s because we thought it would never get worse than the end of Rose years

Academics and Honor Code come to mind

These to me are the obvious reasons why!

If true, BYU should just move to FCS level sports or give them up entirely

HC is a net negative; BYU loses more than it attracts.

Other schools have honor codes, the difference is BYU actually enforces theirs

The academic part exists for all but the moral code does not.

Tell me why BYU students need a higher law than temple recommend requires?

The term”Honor Code” is net negative and just needs to go away.

When BYU loses a recruit to a lower tier school, I just assume it has more to do with academics than anything else but

Why do you assume that? I assume either or both.
