Never underestimate the power of cancel culture by these types:

Yes, but they are also not the types who are loud and make a big stink about

Yup. I said cancel-culture types which is exactly who I depicted.

I agree that BYU is P5 worthy. But BYU is not ineligible

We underestimate how insanely difficult it is to get a P5 invite

This is true. We haven’t been good enough at the right time

True. Byu not gonna make it ever, but because of BYU policies, not church policies.

You’re using a measure of top 10 finishes and sweet 16 as if those are what

If true then I’m fine with never joining a P5… but I don’t totally buy it.

BYU will never be invited until they soften the language on gays. That may not sit well, but it’s the truth
