BYU has standards too. You can be almost dumb as a rock, but you had better keep your penis in your pants, and keep your lips dry of the devil's rum. Limiting the pool to mostly LDS kids, and having moral requirements probably limits recruiting to a point that you can't be truly elite. We all know this. We can live with this. We dream of more, but it is just dreams.

I'm not sure that ND is going to be able to get the big name coach it desires.

Random thought: boy would it be fun if they hired Mike Leach. I would love that.
What if King Urban went there?
