I've remained hopeful, but Thamel says our chances have dropped "precipitously."

They are the safe bet....not as much money, safe choice. Same taken by the PAC10

We only have a 10% chance now!?

CougarEyes

It's okay, I pay tithing. 10% is alot

archie

When has Thamel been reliable?

cougarmanguy

9/16/16 6:24am

It's not a question of reliability, because he's not quoting sources. This is his speculation on where he thinks things

CalGTR

Agree with everything except there is no chance. A fact is that there IS missing

You are correct. Of course there's missing info, no doubt.

He's gone from making up news, to making up words.

This is the first article that's made me think Big12 not happening.

If the big 12 handled expansion LIKE ANY OTHER CONF. BYU would already be in.

idacoug

9/16/16 6:41am

Except other conferences have expanded without us

Graig Swame

9/16/16 7:38am

They may do it exactly the same way the PAC 12 did it

Two things: 1) No, it's not good that Thamel thinks the LGBT stuff is hurting us; but 2) he's not quoting sources. He's

CalGTR

9/16/16 6:46am

I sincerely doubt that this is just Thamel's opinion on the subject

jbcoug

No school administrator can say anything

cougarmanguy

9/16/16 6:55am

He talked to people around college athletics, so he's able to summarize what those folks are thinking, but he doesn't

CalGTR

9/16/16 6:56am

That may be true...

jbcoug

9/16/16 6:59am

He's making a logical assumption. And he may be correct. We just don't know what's going on behind closed doors. For

Think Boren's comments are very intentional as he is trying to remind the other

Littlerich

9/16/16 7:16am

He states that "No one really knows" what will happen so I think

Littlerich

I was positive for a while but our candidacy is dead

TicoBrown

9/16/16 6:49am

I agree. Why would BIG 12 take on controversy?

Natedog916

9/16/16 7:11am

The longer this has gone on, the worse the public dialogue has become. I hate the Big12.

And never bother to really find out if any of it is true. No one

If cooties = excluding people from attending your university.

Natedog916

9/16/16 7:53am

Cooties = behavioral standards based on religious principles

pgbyufan

9/16/16 7:57am

BYU's not excluding anyone. Anyone can attend, as long as they abide by

squidmark

9/16/16 8:23am

Except married LGBT people still can't attend.

Natedog916

9/16/16 8:28am

Nor can anyone who is not living church standards.

Bostonblue

9/16/16 8:31am

Ok...you really can't see how this is a problem to some people? Believe what you

Natedog916

9/16/16 8:42am

what's incredible is that its controversial to some people that a religious school might want

Bostonblue

9/16/16 10:09am

I don't think that it is that incredible.

Natedog916

You are an idiot. Bye.

So mature!

Natedog916

9/16/16 8:38am

And your comment was so mature.

marcusaurelius

9/16/16 10:26am

There is nothing immature about my comment. Is it true or not

Natedog916

9/16/16 11:41am

Using cooties as a description of the situation is absolutely immature

marcusaurelius

9/16/16 12:03pm

Did u read the original post by Soupie?

Natedog916

9/16/16 2:38pm

Ah, I missed that in the previous post. Sorry about that.

marcusaurelius

9/16/16 2:49pm

No worries!

It's not like this hasn't happened before with BYU

A lot of good. And some political action w little upside perception-wise & a lot

If it wasn't already a done deal, I'd be real worried.

He also says in the article that he made phone calls and no one really knows what's going on, which means...

Yep. He thinks he's putting two and two together (Boren's comments and LGBT student gov resolutions) and coming up with
