Elders Holland and Bednar are big sports (and BYU) fans. Donald Hallstrom is also a sports fan and Stephen Owen married a Provo girl. Speaking of Women who Know - both Sister Bingham and Sister Oscarson graduated from BYU. So did Elder Gong.

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 Just outdated info.

Yep- Oscarson is no longer General YW President

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

You have a strange impression of Elder Bednar.

Elder Bednar is not a sports fan,

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

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

PessimisticCB

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?

We need to get Elder Gifford Nielsen in there!

Elder Sikahema as well.

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

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