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

Yeah, tell Steve, Brett, and Dennis they didn't build that!

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

Because the LDS church shouldnt be in the business of funding a football team.

but they should a luxury shopping mall and a state law school

10/31/14 12:49pm

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

10/31/14 12:56pm

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

concolor couguar

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

I think there were far better uses for the money than the mall but throwing

You do realize that the church didn't "spend" $3 billion dollars on the mall,

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

How about we let the church decide what is tithing and what is not?

if you have the money you pay for top QUALITY coaches, administrators

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