Even I know that's not right.

How so?

Elder Gong is not a member of the Seventy. He's an Apostle. Just outdated info.

Yep- Oscarson is no longer General YW President

Doesn't look like too many sports friendly people.

It uhm. Does not.

That group appears to be willing to sacrifice BYU sports on the altar

Archaea

9/4/19 4:12pm

Do you even know any of them?

Brigham

His attitudes on understanding non-compliant behavior

You have a strange impression of Elder Bednar.

kccougar

9/4/19 4:37pm

Elder Bednar is not a sports fan,

How do you know about that?

Dr MoBYU

Elder Bednar’s personal feelings have nothing to do with it.

Are you saying the feelings of the BOT don’t influence BYU football?

His sports “fandom” didn’t save Ricks... And isn’t doing BYU any favors either

You've apparently never been in elder Hollands office or ever spoken to him at

How do I know this is the BOT? Because it was reported that it was....uhm

PessimisticCB

9/4/19 4:11pm

Just curious, I don’t know much about how one picks a BoT, but why no educators?

Joe Banks

9/4/19 4:19pm

Those are usually tied to academics or big donors or politics.

Archaea

9/4/19 4:25pm

Other than Elders Holland and Bednar who were both university presidents?

Greg Kite's 'stache

Or Elder Gong, a Rhodes scholar holding two degrees from Oxford, and

Because educators ruin education administration.

We need to get Elder Gifford Nielsen in there!

letthewookiewin

9/4/19 4:20pm

Great idea. And Elder Durrant.

D.T. Survivor

9/4/19 9:05pm

Elder Sikahema as well.

And if that group was not behind BYU sports they would not have invested

I thought stadium renovations come from private donations.

They just wanna make sure that stadium of fire continues each year

Can I provide some second hand info here that might help?

Sure, share it. Why not?

Ok here goes

run26

9/4/19 6:36pm

I’ll be honest, I think this is true about college football as a whole

Solomon Levi

All sports are weird when we think about it. Why do I care about the Dodgers...

It’s an escape from reality

That doesn’t surprise me that he would have that view point.

Let's shoot for Stanford rather than Harvard

Preppy

That is too bad that he feels that way. But they really need to say what they

I think that's a fair statement but I'm not convinced Elder Eyering is going to

I always hear that BYU sports are self-funded (football essentially funding all)

Not a rumor

We could argue about this all night

Let’s do this all night 😉, But on a message board yes, it’s a rumor. Like I said

not accurate

seal beachcoug

9/4/19 9:43pm

Okay. So it’s changed. The first presidency and quorum of the twelve are on the BOT. I don’t think some people realize
