Leave it to a USU alum to write about how horrible things are at BYU right now.

The point of the article is that it's "not right now" but how it's been for

Agree. This article is fake news. Anyone can see it.

It’s a good, in depth analysis.

I didn't realize we were that close to joining the PAC

Basically BYU advocated to take Utah as well so the PAC just took Utah

Utah actually did lobby for BYU, but it didn't go anywhere

Well written. Our LDS church can’t have a football program in this environment

Except for the fact that we'd be more competitive in a conference

I agree which is why Independence will probably be the long term solution

TCU is absolutely not a church school, despite the name of it.

That’s fine. But it is affiliated with the Disciples of Christ.

Holmoe and Worthen refused to comment for A DNews article?

It also says something about the DNews.

My guess is they can't comment because

Both should be held accountable & BOT must decide if they want a major program!

Maybe but maybe not

You are absolutely right.

Utah was fortunate. They got in for not being BYU.

So Ann Richards kept us out of TWO P5 conferences?!

Some truth. Plenty of hyperbole presented as objectivity.

I have one HUGE quibble. The PAC didn’t look down on religion in the 90s? Wrong
