they have concerns that we, as BYU fans, may not consider valid. However, no matter how strongly we feel that X doesn't matter, Big 12 presidents don't have to agree with our reasoning.

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

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.

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

Do any of the 'non-religious reasons' constitute red herrings that cover up

Any reason could cover up another reason. Proving it is the hard part

This will always be the case. No one is dumb enough to say that sort of thing out loud or even in private.

Didn't seem to bother the PAC 12.

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

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