But remember in 1978 God changed his mind and spoke directly to the current head of the church and they changed their rules to allow African Americans to become elders. So it can happen.

If football makes you do the right thing so be it.

There is no "right thing" in this case. It's a private school. No one HAS to go there. If you don't like their policies don't be there student.

Seems so simple, but people disagree about what the "right thing" is...

Which is what I thought.  When you have 10 people with competing interests making a decision like this, there has to quid pro quo if you want to get anything done.

You want Houston?  I want UC and UCONN.  Let's make a deal.  BYU is not playing along?  Forget the whole thing.

What happens a lot in this situation is no one gets their first choice, so you end up with "compromise" candidates, that often should have been the first choice all along.

We can't agree on Houston or BYU?  Ok, let's take to Florida teams.  No one is overly excited, but everyone can "live with it".

Boom!  We're in!

Yeah, like when Alabama got blown out by an integrated USC team in 1970 they suddenly knew what the "right thing" was.

Exactly. And the Big 12 has every right to not invite them.

Was Alabama a private school with an Honor Code requiring its students to not act African-American? Confusing...

Anyways, I'm not getting into a culture war dispute, at least not in this thread. BYU is what it is.

I agree the Big XII has every right to not invite BYU.

They look pretty fertile for recruiting too.

  • Quotes

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
