I sincerely doubt that this is just Thamel's opinion on the subject

He specifically mentions talking to several industry and college sports sources since Boren's comments. No, he doesn't have a name attached to the BYU/LGBT issue, but no school administrator is going to go on record with those kinds of comments. Doesn't mean they're not legitimate.

I've remained hopeful, but Thamel says our chances have dropped "precipitously."

They are the safe bet....not as much money, safe choice. Same taken by the PAC10

When has Thamel been reliable?

9/16/16 6:24am

It's not a question of reliability, because he's not quoting sources. This is his speculation on where he thinks things

CalGTR

Agree with everything except there is no chance. A fact is that there IS missing

You are correct. Of course there's missing info, no doubt.

If the big 12 handled expansion LIKE ANY OTHER CONF. BYU would already be in.

Except other conferences have expanded without us

They may do it exactly the same way the PAC 12 did it

Two things: 1) No, it's not good that Thamel thinks the LGBT stuff is hurting us; but 2) he's not quoting sources. He's

No school administrator can say anything

9/16/16 6:55am

He talked to people around college athletics, so he's able to summarize what those folks are thinking, but he doesn't

CalGTR

That may be true...

jbcoug

He's making a logical assumption. And he may be correct. We just don't know what's going on behind closed doors. For

Think Boren's comments are very intentional as he is trying to remind the other

He states that "No one really knows" what will happen so I think

I was positive for a while but our candidacy is dead

I agree. Why would BIG 12 take on controversy?

The longer this has gone on, the worse the public dialogue has become. I hate the Big12.

If cooties = excluding people from attending your university.

Natedog916

9/16/16 7:53am

Cooties = behavioral standards based on religious principles

pgbyufan

9/16/16 7:57am

BYU's not excluding anyone. Anyone can attend, as long as they abide by

squidmark

9/16/16 8:23am

Except married LGBT people still can't attend.

Nor can anyone who is not living church standards.

Ok...you really can't see how this is a problem to some people? Believe what you

Natedog916

9/16/16 8:42am

what's incredible is that its controversial to some people that a religious school might want

I don't think that it is that incredible.

Natedog916

And your comment was so mature.

9/16/16 10:26am

There is nothing immature about my comment. Is it true or not

Natedog916

9/16/16 11:41am

Using cooties as a description of the situation is absolutely immature

Did u read the original post by Soupie?

Ah, I missed that in the previous post. Sorry about that.

No worries!

He also says in the article that he made phone calls and no one really knows what's going on, which means...

Yep. He thinks he's putting two and two together (Boren's comments and LGBT student gov resolutions) and coming up with
