BYU and Big 12 expansion: LGBT group Athlete Ally executive director answers questions about letter opposing BYU's candidacy

LGBT groups submitted a letter Monday to the Big 12 Conference and its member institutions expressly requesting that the league not consider Brigham Young University as an expansion candidate due

BYU would be a PR nightmare that they’d run away from. I don’t think groups like this are any more ok with 2020 BYU than they were back then. They’d come out of in droves to oppose us. Only chance is if they signed the deal and it went public after the fact.

Any school that averages a legit 30k+ should be included

CaliWG

8/2/20 11:38am

30 k isn’t enough. It might have to be 50k

Nat Gas Man

8/2/20 3:00pm

That would only include about 40 programs

CaliWG

I don’t think a school with 30k can have a program break even. Since the schools

If a "conglomerate" is formed, you can be sure BYU will be in their sandbox.

This is a good point. BYU isn't what they were in the 80s and 90s, but

Sadly, I can believe the 64+ND part, but given our track record I'm expecting us to be left out or screw it up

The fact that he used caps to say VERY powerful peaked my curiosity...

I peeked at it but the idea has peaked so it didn't pique my curiosity 🙂

So the fact the P5 just officially cut us out — well, it was only an illusion?

Thank you for sharing what you can. BYU fans need any good news we can get.

Ignore the haters, thanks for sharing what you know

And FTR, this is totally consistent with my source. I can’t add much detail, but

Unibro

We appreciate you being willing to share.

Zach Morris

8/2/20 1:07pm

Same with my source, my source also mentioned that there was one school that really was fighting against BYU

This lines up with what I’ve been told.

The only reason I can think of to keep BYU out is in order to keep a recruiting

Are you saying 2 of the power 5 like us 3 conferences don’t? Schools?

Took it as just individual schools not whole conferences.

Soupie

Seems unlikely someone would have a pulse on how each P5 feels about BYU

franklyvulgar

8/2/20 12:35pm

Take it or leave it, but my source has indicated the same from his conversations

Yep. Mine too.

Zach Morris

Mine said we are only days away from it all breaking open.

Mine says the next two weeks will be critical.

It’s complicated. I wish I could say more but it would reveal my source.

You sound very important and connected Zach. Wow.

I think people overplay this thought. Yes, there is some of that talk going

I wish this were true. Shame is a powerful deterrent and motivator.

I agree, it's a motivator, but it's not even close to the motivator that money
