And?????? It is still WAAAAAY easier to recruit and build a program at school that doesnt have the strict student code restrictions that BYU does. The fact that Drew was able to take that situation and win an national championship proves MY point. My goodness...

You're harping on BYU's student code too much. They've had a solid athletic program across multiple conferences for decades in spite of that. Pope was decent there, but nothing remarkable for them.

Baylor was a black hole among major conference programs until Drew, Mulkey, and Briles got there. They actually did extraordinary things for Baylor, so I'm not sure your point was proven at all.

Brandon Davies Dismissed

What??? That tells me that it is a lot easier to win at Baylor than it is at BYU. Did Baylor win a national championship or not? Did BYU kick off their 2nd best player (Brandon Davies) when Jimmer Fredette was there or not? The best team they ever had was 27-2 when they had to dismiss their 2nd best player because he had sex with his girlfriend...id say their strict student code of conduct fricked up the best chance BYU has ever had. Show me ANY other school that kicks a player off their team...especially one that is 27-2...for having sex with their girlfriend. Don't worry...i'll wait!!
