fundraise and do what it needs to pay these guys. I think the church and BYU are just afraid of the look of someone on the payroll making millions of dollars.

Why is that controversial?

Controversial, because it questions the current management of BYU admin decisions...i.e. questioning the Lords anointed

I think God cares more about football than the church

If there truly is no co-mingling of tithing and athletic funds, pay the dudes what they're worth.

Most of Ensign Peak's $ is not from tithing, but from other investments. It's

The challenge is viability as a university while also being Church owned.

I agree especially with the catholic universities losing their religiosity.

That was 51 years ago. Church membership was small then

Yes, so we can have just another regular university

This assumes that BYU will be able to maintain the status quo.

My dollars I’ll go to BYU only as long as it is sponsored by the church.

agree. I just increased my alumni annual donation 10x. From small to modest.

So you want BYU to be the U of U. Hard pass.

Is UU private? Overseen by a board of faithful LDS?

TheWanderer

12/8/21 9:12pm

Not private. There are and have been plenty of faithful members of the church in

How long would BYU be managed by faithful brothers and sisters

That's just not true. Your implied idea that Mormons have a monopoly on good behavior and intentions is silly

Your last sentence touches on some clear reasons this is a bad idea.

This is the mentality that is holding BYU back. It's untrue and anti-productive.
