Default BYU and it's Air Force ROTC

BYU won't let a non-LDS Colonel drink coffee in his own home.

Welp, it looks like the Air Force is not a good fit for BYU.

Looks like it's a done deal for the move.

BYU will still have air force ROTC (most likely), but the students just won't have classes and activities at BYU. It's going to harm the program. Not sure if anyone cares.

I believe this will definitely impact enrollment in ROTC at BYU. It means there will be fewer LDS officers in the Air Force.

Over coffee.
