Iowa State student government opposes BYU's Big 12 candidacy

Iowa State's student senate passed a resolution against BYU's candidacy in Big 12, saying the school has discriminatory policies.

Unless there have been developments that have happened since 2016 to alleviate this concern, isn't this still a deal breaker for the BIG12, SEC, PAC12?

What changed? They are now left hanging, and they have little leverage now. BYU offers some stability.

What has changed is that they aren't hiding behind mommy's apron any more.

Byu has taken quite a few steps forward to try to help change the perception

Not exactly a sure thing, but those who were in then are gone now and Gen Z does tend to be more like Gen X than

Is Gen Z less politically correct? I don't think so

Pew may be right. But I see a difference in the youth now I interact with versus the youth I interacted with 10 yrs ago
