Stephan Shay, where is he now?

He's doing quite well. He's running the USA 25K this weekend

"does anyone know why he transferred to BYU of all places to transfer ..."

I'm gonna take a wild guess here:

1..The men's coach was a 10-time All-American

2..The men's coach was a professional distance runner for 15 years

3..The men's coach won the NCAA 5k, 10k and XC titles in same year.

4..The men's coach was a two time Olympian in the marathon

5..The men's coach was the NCAA record holder in the 10k

and based on the above, I'm gonna stretch on this one: maybe the coach knew a little bit about distance running. Now I don't KNOW this is the reason ... but I gonna venture that it had something to do with that decision. Just a guess though.

Yeah but I don't think he is Mormon. ACKWARD!!!

Seious question. Are you allowed to be non-mormon at BYU?

YOU are an IDIOT.

is not a word.

yeah eyestone is one of the best coaches no doubt, but there are plenty of other great coaches and schools that don't force you to cover tattoos, don't allow you to drink, etc... still the question of why byu? in the mountains- altitude, great team mates including kyle perry..... i think this question still remains.

Yeah BYU always has some of the best runners. the culture there would seem different to have a Michigan kid transfer out there who isn't Mormon. he finished well there and i defiantly think he probably brought a lot of "spice" to that team... some of those guys on the team probably never heard a cuss word in their lives. either way, looks like he was a great addition to that team whether he was mormon or not.

yeah you can, since BYU is a private school, there is no "out of state tuition" if you are a member of their church its like 2500 a semester if your not is like double that. so you can go there, you just have to pay more.

You can attend while paying twice the tuition, however if you are a mormon going in you can be expelled if you stop practicing it. Since disaffiliation is a violation of the "honor code".

As well as the ridicule received by fellow students and professors. Not worth it. Just a thought though.

Why necro this?
