A quick definition of sanctuary:

A sanctuary is a safe place where someone can go to be protected from harm. In the past, some churches were considered sanctuaries where people could go to escape punishment for a crime. This was because the law could not be enforced in these holy places. Nowadays, a sanctuary can also refer to a special area in a religious building, like a church, where the main altar is located.

A more thorough explanation:

A sanctuary is a safe place where someone can go to escape danger or persecution. In the past, there were places called sanctuaries where people could go to avoid being arrested or punished by the law. These were usually churches or other religious buildings where the law could not be enforced.

For example, in medieval England, if a criminal took refuge in a church, they could not be arrested for 40 days. After that, they had to either stand trial or leave the country. This was called the right of sanctuary.

Today, a sanctuary can also refer to a place where animals are protected and cared for. For instance, a wildlife sanctuary is a place where animals can live safely in their natural habitat without being hunted or harmed by humans.

In a religious context, a sanctuary can also refer to the area of a church where the altar is located. This is considered a holy space where people can come to pray and worship.

no i think there should be a Law School combine with all new drills except there is still the 40 yard dash
and a sub 4.5 gets you into any t14
LSAT can be one of the drills

So all the D1 athletes will get into a T-14. What else is new?
@TheAdoptedOne: that is called "Dean Poker Night" lol
@ClockworkBlue: I feel like most people could train for the 40 for the same amount of time as they do the LSAT and get close to sub 5 which would be equivalent to a 167+
