PROVO — For years, some fans sitting in student sections at schools hosting BYU teams have dressed up in missionary attire as a way to poke fun at, or mock, the Cougars and the LDS Church, which owns and operates BYU.
It happened at San Diego State when the Cougars were part of the Mountain West Conference, and it’s happened at Gonzaga, where BYU plays Saturday.
Now officials at Gonzaga, a Jesuit school, are strongly encouraging their students to avoid wearing white shirts and ties and bicycle helmets, according to The Gonzaga Bulletin, the official student-run newspaper.
