He was the one that broke the Athlete Ally letter and continues to bash us on LGBT issues. BYU is the only school on the list that actually adds value. Cincy might add a little but Houston adds none. There is no way expanding brings value without BYU. If BYU is left out for political/religious reasons then the Big 12 schools have nobody to blame but themselves and the media owns the colossal waste of time this process would have been.
BYU is the Golden Goose in the expansion pool and killing that goose means no golden eggs. All those schools and fans that are upset should direct their complaints to Stewart Mandel and Athlete Ally. They own it. They will have ruined it for everyone.
