You want the members of the football team to be exemplary persons of nothing but the highest moral standards. And I think you're silly to expect that even a very, very good kid can't run into some problems caused by mistakes he's made. Further, I think that tossing the kid who's made those mistakes onto his ass because of those mistakes is the height of pharisitical ideals. Therefore, I call you out as an unforgiving asshole who's opinion I openly despise.

Personally, I'd take an unusual amount of delight in doing so in Adam's case.

Junkie, you're one of my favorite guys here but let me just say that what Adam is saying here isn't radical or heartless or controversial. Lots of noble insitutions of higher learning decide they don't want marginal kids. So what. BYU isn't the YMCA, is it? What kind of school do you want BYU to be?
The only reason this is an issue is that BYU isn't Stanford or Notre Dame. If it were it could say, we aren't accepting any marginal kids, and still win. You should strive to become Stanford or Notre Dame. Concluding you wouldn't Adam to be your kid's MIA teacher because he wants to resolve doubts in favor keeping BYU pristine is a silly leap. Besides, if some kid turns out to be a bad seed it's potentially BM's job.

It's a dumb ass position to say because you don't want BYU to accept marginal kids I don't want you teaching my kid in MIA. That's a good word for such reasoning.
