But BYU Football isn't about salvation or even happiness. It is about who represents BYU to the youth and the world. Tonga and Hooks could be quite happy playing (and getting into trouble) at some other school.
You can know which kids are going to be ok and which are not with very few mistakes. The coaches are recruiting these kids for over 3 years typically. They know them pretty well. You are playing the canard here, not me.
