What is absolutely wild is that even though the PAC 12 is desperate enough now to be adding underwhelming programs like SMU and SDSU, they would STILL likely not add BYU if BYU was available. Does anyone really doubt this? That really speaks to their anti-religion prejudice as well as their intellectual snobbery of only wanting major research conferences in their league.
In an alternate universe where BYU was available, it would be amusing to watch the PAC 12 pass on them and then try to justify why they did so. Their bigotry and academic snobbery would be plain for everyone to see.
As Kurt so eloquently expressed, it's a stance that is biting them in the butt.
What's that they say about karma?
