Stop with the Mormon thing.

Says a guy whose school got in only because it's not a Mormon school.

"My" school was a founding member of a P5. The libs in the P5 didn't snub BYU

It's only bigotry in the completely delusional and warped mind of liberals.

I am explaining why they excluded BYU. I am not them.

If you are talking undergrad BYU is one of the best in the country.

BYU football is the 3rd most visible presence the church has.

I agree with most of that. My last post mentioned the word "efficient".

You've bought into an urban legend, my friend.

This coach didn't say "I believe..."

Because that is what he heard through the scuttlebutt.

That's worse than Bronco! Fewer games and lower win percentage.
