Academics

BYU has top-caliber professors. There is no question that academics at BYU are important, and the administration strives to hire excellent teachers.

The fall semester is punctuated with comments around campus supporting/bemoaning the football team. Historically, BYU has done well in our division, although we recently left the WAC.
