I registered the mac from the current working nic. I may just not be setting things up correctly. Are there any issues with the DHCP implementation BYU is using?

If you can believe it they do this manually. My solution was to register the Hex equivalent of my first name as a MAC so I could spoof it if I needed to. If you know that the now dead NIC is registered you could spoof it's MAC and see if that works. You may have to disable the NIC in BIOS to make sure the spoof doesn't mess up you network stack. Look at the ifconfig manpage for info on how to set the hardware address. Hope that helps, if not let's figure out what will. Richard A.
