BYU President Shane Reese Says Football Helps Mission of University 'Shine'

Since the beginning of BYU athletics, many fans have wondered where athletics at BYU fits within the overall mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day

Saints. BYU is owned and operated by the church, and its mission is very unique compared to the schools that it competes against in sports. Amateurism in collegiate athletics is evaporating, and it will be gone for good when athlete revenue sharing is introduced.

On Saturday night, BYU president Shane Reese addressed the longstanding question of BYU football's fit within the mission of the church. Reese explained that it is critical for BYU to be different from its peers. " I think that it's critical for us to be different," Reese said. "To have things that we do that are distinctive.

Reese explained that BYU's mission should not limit the Cougars from being competitive, and that the mission of BYU doesn't fully shine if football is not competitive. "We want to go on that field and we want to be competitive and we want to hit people as hard as we hit anyone else, right? We, we want to be out there really digging in and competing hard. That's an important part for the mission of the university to shine," Reese said.
