It's likely PR only as it would be seen like the Vatican paying for ND

If they decide to invest in BYU football, I'm sure they will use this arm.

The vast majority of members don't care about football.

I think it is fair to question the cost and benefits of such a move

Honestly, I don't think the church should be involved in those things either.

At least you are consistent. Do you agree that if they felt ok funding those

The simple answer is that I object to all these uses. The church could end...

The church has no business funding the U's law school in this age. None at all.

If players start getting paid, spots will open up in the P5 conferences.
