Would that change if we get into a P5 conference?

We'd need to do either that, or start not dissapointing fans with on-field

Correct

Also, not sure I can trust an article that calls "academics" "academicians".

US Dpet of Education report says BYU spent $53 mil and made $60 last year

I like how they have to slip in the Church somehow...

BlueDragon

the Church thing is a legitimate issue because college presidents may block BYU

Academics is academics, if you're able to get in the top 200 I don't see what

I don't believe this at all, plenty of taboo subjects were discussed and

Littlerich

If you don't believe it I think you need to do some research. It's true.

Littlerich

I can't tell if you are joking or are

OliverGranger

Not joking, not naive. I think the "academic freedom" argument is pathetic as

Littlerich

This is accurate. BYU ranked higher on academic freedom in the last NWCCU

Do you have proof to back up your allegations of what would cause

Littlerich

7/6/15 9:23pm

You actually can't survey your student anonymously on any topic for publication

concolor couguar

Correct, The IRB would have no reason to not approve this if done

Teams around the country are seeing attendance problems

Too easy not to show when BYUTv doesn't Black it out.

CSU is building a " new 40-seat" stadium? Talk about downsizing.

How does that make them a better candidate

Utah fans travel really well to most of the PAC 12 away games.

By "well" you mean about 180 50-something goatee-wearing jack mormons.

OliverGranger

No. I've been to UCLA and USC and ASU games.
