Jim McMahon's father wrote a letter to BYU asking for his son to be inducted to the school's football Hall of Fame.
McMahon said he's been told he's not in the BYU football Hall of Fame because he didn't graduate. But he hints there were several other issues and says BYU is hypocritical.
McMahon said BYU wasn't truthful when it recruited him. He said the school said it wouldn't enforce tough rules on him. But McMahon said the second he go there the school was on him. McMahon said that he was on probation from freshman year on. He was caught having a beer on a golf course.
Dan asked McMahon if he had a do-over, would he go to BYU again? McMahon said definitely, because he learned so much about football, which was his main goal.
McMahon pointed to a double-standard. He often saw coaches having coffee or a beer after a game, which he wasn't allowed to do.
McMahon said that after his final game, school officials called him in and said several students came to them and said the QB violated several rules and asked him to leave.
McMahon said they used him. When his eligibility was up, the school dumped him.
McMahon said his father is the main reason he went to BYU. Jim wanted to go to UNLV, because he had such a good time on the recruiting trip.
McMahon said he was offered money to go to other schools -- mostly in the form of an easy job and maybe a nice car, etc. |
