I heartily agree with you, except that anyone can attend BYU, even LGBTQ people.

BYU was racist 44 years ago...i.e., 1977

You mean the Church was racist. Please go ahead and post that on here

Indeed and so was pretty much every other institution

Sure about that? A black was elected as student body VP in 1976 ( maybe '77).

Really, is that true?

More believable than "Blacks didn't hold the priesthood because of racism"

What's sad with the church is the logic makes us look worse than the action.

Expecting 9 other schools to radically alter scheduling is not reasonable.

Can a homosexual go to another school? Is the homosexual not aware BYU's stance?

And that’s why BYU will likely be kept out of the P5. Happy?

In the grand scheme of things yes, BYU and the Church shouldn't give up....

Not worth giving up what an institution believes in

One person's "unbiased and objective" perspective is another one's....

And just to be clear, we are talking about 31 BU players committing 52 rapes.

rivercitycoug

7/23/21 7:04am

I think it's the range of the effect; and how easy it is to isolate blame to few

You can use that same logic in regards to the HCO's rape "policy".
