Provo • The group of professors huddled around a table in the basement of the Harold B. Lee Library on Brigham Young University’s campus could be discussing 16th century English literature, or liberation movements in South Africa.
Instead, they’re discussing football. And as associate English literature professor Brandie Siegfried walks into the room and holds up several neon colored sheets of paper, the group bursts into laughter.
This is the playbook for their intramural flag football team: 18 BYU employees, all women, who teach a wide range of subjects while competing against students on the gridiron every fall.
