I think we are in the same boat as 2016.

There have been attempts to explain our position but it's mostly been done on BYU campus or friendly areas, social media. But, that's just speaking to the choir which already agrees with the church position.
I don't think our brand is going to over ride the awkwardness or controv we bring to a conference.

Iowa State's opposition to BYU joining BIG12 in '16...what has changed?

If they want to add BYU, do it before school is in session

I think this is accurate but wonder if the woke crowd is too loud and stupid

Been my concern all along - even BYU

But do they have other options?

They don’t need us yet since they’re also looking to bail

and the hometown press knows that. The problem wasn't a few students

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.

They're just getting out of a very cold pool

Was that a real reason that BYU was on the outside looking in or was it a student council with a lot of bluster.

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

Agreed. And ISU is in a more desperate position while BYU is coming off a terrific season.

I sincerely hope we have done enough

People in general have become dumber since 2016. There's that.

It's still COVID season with the woke ISU student body. They'll be too afraid to

Covid doesn't transmit at protests

I forgot! COVID knows how to sniff out Trump rallies and only transmit there...

It is Iowa State. Let that sink in. Why do they have a say? Do you really

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

To answer your question, nothing has changed . . .

7/26/21 6:41pm

What makes you think anything has changed?

Uh, the exact thing ISU students complained about…honor code language for LGBT

A lot. No UT, no OU... translation: no gorilla having their back.

7/26/21 9:54pm

It's hypocritical for a conference that includes two other Christian Faith...

This is the argument when CBers claim religious bigotry…
