You think Columbus Mormons aren't giving it to Ohio State? Austin Mormons aren't giving it to UT?

Remember Lavell's quote, too...

Everyone on here talks very definitively about the fact that the PAC 12 would

That is just an excuse. It is an easy out for them.

Yes but it is a legitimate excuse... and the only one...

IOW, liberal schools in liberal states.

Stanford is private

As is USC. Both are secular.

Brigham

8/10/18 1:19pm

Did USC originally have a religious tie? Seems like I heard it did. Even if true, that was obviously a long time ago.

SingleStrapBackpack

They did.... long, long ago. It is a private university.

yes, all antithetical to liberal schools and liberal states.

Academic freedom.

Church affiliation.

TriggerWarning

They want everyone to be tolerant of other people’s beliefs unless those other people are Mormons.

Zaphod

Amen brother.

But props to their intolerance principles. They left a lot of Mormon money...

Gave ya a thumbs down just to complete the cycle

Thanks!

Zaphod

8/9/18 11:21pm

Bot entirely true. They are not tolerant of hate groups either.

UNHuskerCoug

8/9/18 10:38pm

Not exactly. They want others to be tolerant of their beliefs but have no tolerance for those who believe otherwise.

It’s much worse today than it was in 2011.

Refugee

8/10/18 6:29am

So you are saying that the Pac 12 schools tolerate

UNHuskerCoug

I think his statement is pretty clear, and does not imply what you seem to

NewMexiCoug

Didn’t say a thing about Mormonism. You wrote that in your mind. Read again.

Refugee

8/10/18 9:18am

They don't consider BYU a "research university" which is a bogus excuse.

Y-Zag

8/9/18 9:37pm

Exactly. They were willing to consider the 5 Big12 schools to fill out a

NewMexiCoug

8/10/18 6:43am

BYU is not that much of a graduate research university.

Archaeovagrant

8/10/18 12:38pm

Even BYU professors don't consider BYU a research university

gavinguillaume

8/12/18 8:44am

ultimately the same thing that will keep BYU out of just about any conference

Josef K

8/9/18 9:45pm

And liberal universities have a definite anti-religion bias. It doesn't matter

Y-Zag

8/9/18 9:52pm

*all universities...trust me, I'm a professor. Academia is as liberal as it gets

Not all universities.

My son went to a state college in conservative Idaho. Extremely liberal.

North Idaho?

Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston. He would call me weekly and complain

Y-Zag

Interesting, never even heard of that college before

SingleStrapBackpack

It is a small college. Hosts the NAIA Baseball national championship

Actually, geography has been a big factor for all but PAC.

BYU was also rejected by the Pac-10 in the '90s. It's nothing new

Thank you for the links, this helps.

Cal and Stanford are as bigoted as they come. Those 2 block everything BYU. It's

Lance71

8/9/18 10:24pm

I’d say the big 12 is more bigoted

Josef K

8/9/18 10:30pm

They are pretty tolerant of Baylor and even TCU before they were the Big12.

Lance71

8/9/18 10:38pm

That’s why they’re bigoted. Cal and Stanford are completely different

Josef K

8/9/18 10:45pm

Baylor and TCU are cut from the same religious cloth

Everyman

8/9/18 10:50pm

TCU has religious origin... is NOT a religious institution today.

Samurai Jack

No, but it’s trustees, donors and supporters,

Yes. You will get dirty looks if you say Texas Christian instead of TCU now.

Ok so there is one left. Brite Divinity is not.

Why would one need two? Brite has been separate since its founding in 1914

TCUfan77

8/12/18 11:13am

Baylor is also not welcome. Connect the dots.

Samurai Jack

8/9/18 10:34pm

To be fair, Baylor is barely welcome in their own conference.

dYrtbYkerYder

8/10/18 4:41am

Yes indeed... but for entirely different reasons....

Samurai Jack

8/10/18 4:46am

Did they say Baylor was not welcome at the time they were trying to expand?

here's to hoping

8/10/18 9:22am

Reports such as this Tramel article said so... (link)

Samurai Jack

interesting, thanks

Baylor is in the Big 12 because of Ann Richards and Bob Bullock
