On flip side, is Big 12 concerned of religious bigotry label if they pass on BYU

PAC12 didn't care and no one questioned them. No one would question BigXII.

Why would anybody question the Pac-12 for bigotry? They took Utah.

You're not bigoted in the eyes of the world if you hate BYU and/or Mormons

Nah. Religious bigotry is acceptable in the US.

All they have to do is point to no sunday play and say that it complicates

which isn't that a form of bigotry if not allowed to practice our religion given previous court rulings?

Nope. It's a scheduling issue which is a practical consideration.

Sounds like a lot of hair splitting to me.

Not at all. The Big 12 doesn't have to make any accommodations for BYU.

DapperDan

BYU is allowed to practice no sunday play. No one is forcing them to play.

Backwards. They wouldn't be preventing anything

Religious bigotry has no traction

There are plenty of non-religious reasons to exclude BYU. The only way it would

True...none that I think outway benefit if only in FB, but valid still.

The problem is we tend to think in terms of BYU fans, not Big 12 presidents, and

DapperDan

Didn't seem to bother the PAC 12.

5/5/16 12:02pm

My frustration lies in our "bigotry" being the go to accusation against BYU.

silentvelcro

5/5/16 12:10pm

No. All they have to say is we are difficult to deal with, no sunday play, and

No one gives it a second of thought because it's a rediculous allegation
