Sure, but 9% profit is teetering on the edge. Relative profit is far more useful a measure than actual profit.

The only exception I have is if the employee takes advantage of the 3 hour rule

RockyBalboa

My rule is that they have to take PTO if it’s more than 2 days from work. More of a CYA thing, but I don’t care.

How is BYU looking less than a P4 program than before they joined the Big 12?

byusage

By having less talent overall.

I don't think so. Maybe less relative talent, but that is because competition

byusage

Even if it was the same we should at least be showing signs of progress at this

Over inflate charity care numbers. Simple
