You serious Clark?

I get the gist of what I THINK you are trying to say, but the examples you use and your overall tone calls into question your conclusions. Similar words are often written by those who want to destroy or embarrass the church and/or BYU. Maybe you're trying to use their words and their arguments for dramatic effect and I missed it?

I think we all get that there is more going on in P5 conference affiliation for BYU than just the traditional metrics. That was clearly the case with the PAC12 to a huge degree, but is probably having some effect with the Big12 as well (though I suspect to a much smaller degree). However, it does us no good to go around and scream "LOOK AT THOSE BIGOTS!" ... at least not when we are still wanting to join their club.
