    Yes, but sports biases should be factored in when determining "best candidates", right?

    I'm sure being from Utah is a negative factor in admissions, but I'm also reasonably certain that the Utah percentage at BYU is still very high.

    At work I’m surrounded by fans of USC, UCLA, Notre Dame, the Western Bay Area MLB franchise, and the Yankees. I can tolerate anything.

    “True, we [lawyers] build no bridges. We raise no towers. We construct no engines. We paint no pictures - unless as amateurs for our own principal amusement. There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”
