Never underestimate the power of cancel culture by these types:

Funny thing is, those who voice their opinion often don’t even participate in

You realize that most gay people are normal and nothing like this meme right?

I'm sure he does, but those aren't the people trying to cancel everyone.

Yes, but they are also not the types who are loud and make a big stink about

Yup. I said cancel-culture types which is exactly who I depicted.

If that were true we’d be in the PAC 12

Ah, there's the truth.

Power rules all. Money just facilitates power. See pre-existence.

That's depressing. I actually fear that rather than employers boycotting BYU graduates,...

What does that really mean? Seems meaningless for all practical purposes if it

Social issues and geography. We might have made another conference had we been

I agree that BYU is P5 worthy. But BYU is not ineligible

TFL

7/22/21 12:16am

We underestimate how insanely difficult it is to get a P5 invite

krindorr

This is true. We haven’t been good enough at the right time

Blue2thebone

Totally agree

Now do Rutgers.

Rutgers is N/A in this argument because they're already in. They suck but that's

Rutgers was already in an AQ, but since you asked...

krindorr

True. Byu not gonna make it ever, but because of BYU policies, not church policies.

I don’t see your second statement happening. At least in the business world,

Men’s football and basketball are really all that matter. We’re better than

7/22/21 7:03am

The OP suggested we were better than 2/3 of P5 all around

Blue Cat

7/22/21 7:51am

You’re using a measure of top 10 finishes and sweet 16 as if those are what

chitownboy

7/22/21 11:43am

I’m using that as a marker of having elite seasons

Blue Cat

7/22/21 11:56am

And I´m fine with that.

Of course this is true. There are multiple issues

johnnycarson

If true then I’m fine with never joining a P5… but I don’t totally buy it.

Except that BYU has a huge fanbase, great facilities, solid teams throughout

cougarnw

BYU will never be invited until they soften the language on gays. That may not sit well, but it’s the truth

About that huge fanbase....

I agree that Woke academia may well prevent BYU inclusion in any P5. Employment

Look around. What, exactly, is currently limiting the woke crowd?

BleedCougarBlue2

Maybe the biggest draw to being in a P5 is the increased chance at the playoff,
