Church has $100B. Wisconsin needs $70M. BYU needs a permanent p5 home.

That would be about $6000 per member. National debt = $80,000 per citizen.

All jokes aside, church could probably pay for P5 inclusion. But they won’t

You're right. Now is the chance to buy into a conference but the Church won't.

We need to get in P5 conf. to preserve a perception of normalcy for the Church

...in the United States....we have a very myopic view of the Church's resources

I agree with this 100%. However I highly doubt the Q12 sees it that way. BYU

no, but they do fund U of U's law school. So why not Wisky's football program

May be the Church should hire Larry Scott. Isn't the PAC Network a sure-thing?

Wisconsin should impose an additional 10% on families to fund the football prgm.

There is a general underestimation of how negatively the Church is viewed

What about BYU fans living in Utah forced to fund their rival through taxes?
