Did USC originally have a religious tie? Seems like I heard it did. Even if true, that was obviously a long time ago.

They want everyone to be tolerant of other people’s beliefs unless those other people are Mormons.

Bot entirely true. They are not tolerant of hate groups either.

Not exactly. They want others to be tolerant of their beliefs but have no tolerance for those who believe otherwise.

They don't consider BYU a "research university" which is a bogus excuse.

They are pretty tolerant of Baylor and even TCU before they were the Big12.

To be fair, Baylor is barely welcome in their own conference.
