I don't see how this could be good strategy.
1) Can BYU seriously hire enough of the football talent out there as to reduce the chances that other teams will succeed?
2) Is BYU so prized a destination among football players that they would be willing to sit on the sidelines at BYU rather than get more time playing, at another team? Consider that they also want to attract the attention of NFL scouts.
Google doesn't have any of these problems -- for many candidates, it is the NFL, and there's no real limit on how many people can "play".

Nobody wants to sit on the sidelines, but if you can work your way up to first string at a top 20 University then yes, the scouts are more likely to take notice. Why do you think the NFL pays millions and millions of dollars recruiting the best of the best? It's because talent at that level is rare, hard to find, and even harder to hold on to. In my experience, a rock star programmer can be worth more to an organization than 100 of your common CS grads.
