BlooCoog Intervention Needed

Careful...mods will ban you for suggesting the church do things differently. Yes

they really do that on CB.

I once suggested the church could prioritize spending more of their vast resources on coaching hires and if they didn't the Coaches Circle would likely pick up the slack...and my post was deleted by El Jefe.

Moderation process on CB = Ugh

Controversial take...

Why is that controversial?

Pimpin4Paradise

12/8/21 1:31pm

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

12/8/21 2:03pm

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.

12/8/21 1:31pm

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

I believe the church views the Ensign Peak money as derived from tithing. Even still, the athletic department can

The church has no money without tithing. At some point in the past the seed

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

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

I'm actually kind of expecting it. But we'll see I suppose.

Hey! Your post is still here…amazing! Proves how silly and biased the CB

Personally I'm fine with how they do it now.

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

12/9/21 4:58am

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

cougargollum

12/8/21 6:41pm

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