| BYU Football Graduation Rates Among Lowest in NCAA |
| The NCAA released a study last week of
student-athlete graduation rates that puts BYU on the bottom when measuring
the difference between the graduation rate of football players at the school
and the graduation rate of male students at BYU. But while the rates are
affected by the prevalence of LDS missionaries at BYU, missionaries still
don't explain why BYU's rate is so low. And the rates could put BYU out of
post-season and championship competition under the Knight Commission's
recommendations released earlier this year. |
| LDS Olympian Drowns in Fishing Accident |
| Former Olympic runner and member of BYU's
Athletic Hall of Fame Paul Cummings drowned Monday in a fishing
accident on Strawberry Reservoir near Salt Lake City. Cummings was a
versatile runner, a five-time All-American track star who competed in
the 1984 Olympics and set records in the 15 kilometer and indoor
1,500 meter races. He was 48. |
| Orioles' Johnson Says Tragedy Didn't Affect Game, but Loses |
| The Baltimore Orioles best pitcher, Jason
Johnson, claimed this week that he didn't think about the terrorist
attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon at all while
pitching in the team's first game after the attacks. But that didn't
keep the Orioles from losing for the 15th time in their last 16
games. But Johnson, an LDS Church member, did admit that he and his
wife, Stacey, were shaken by the attacks. |
