The university intends to complete the “Cougar Game,” in which students will compete for parking spots, before the start of next semester. 

After years of failed attempts of fixing the parking situation by promoting public transportation, charging for parking, and hiring more parking enforcers, BYU officials believe that they have finally come up with a foolproof plan.

“It’s very simple,” said a nameless, faceless university spokesperson, “All students who register for parking will compete in 6 rounds of traditional BYU games, those who fail will be eliminated, those who succeed will receive a guaranteed parking spot.”

Student feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. 

“I don’t care if elimination means what I think it means, it’s worth it for guaranteed parking,” said McBrinley Talbot, who commutes from Orem.

Business major Ryker Olsen said that “it’s an effective way to distribute a scarce resource,” and that, “you could even have people pay to watch to make up for the money that used to come from parking passes.”

Already rumors are circulating about what exactly the games will be.

Sophomore Beck Olson gave his best guess, “It’s a given that we’ll be doing HFAC hide and seek, but what if one round is something hard, like climbing the RB stairs without stopping to catch your breath?”
