I agree.

I also find it ridiculous that non-LDS students attend BYU, but if you decide to discontinue your Church membership, you can't continue to study at BYU. That seems utterly irrational to me.

Wasn't removing individual choice supposed to be Satan's plan?

I especially hate how if a non-member decides to go to professional or graduate school at BYU, and then converts to the church, they are given a 4.0 for 2 semesters. That doesn't seem fair.

I don't think CG College will have things like business majors or anything particularly "practical." It's a liberal arts education. You want to be an accountant with a bachelors? Go to another school.

We are producing the future thoughts leaders of a new America.

I'm surprised Tex hasn't weighed in, on this BYU-Cougarguard, situated at the border of Texas and Mexico, shouldn't it be "BYU-Borderlanders"?
