I enjoyed reading this article in the NY Times today: there is some grumbling at some schools that BYU sports teams have an advantage because so many of the players are older because they went on missions.
There’s an easy solution, of course: more schools need to recruit more Mormon young men and women! And then everybody with lots of Mormon players would have an advantage.
Interesting side note: according to the article, 82 percent of BYU men and 13 percent of BYU women go on missions. As a complete outsider with nothing to do with BYU, I would have expected both numbers to be higher.
