Across the LDS Church many people will be asking "why Utah and not BYU?" Well, that may be a hard question for many to answer. Will "bigotry" be the answer that satisfies? I hope many thoughtful and ranging discussions ensue. This could be the catalyst for a great enlightenment.

Yes, the bigoted PAC 12 indeed is responsible. You are all welcome for the enlightening and ranging discussion. -
I don't think the PAC10 is prejudice against individual mormons. I think they have a prejudice against the organization and BYU, by choice, is a an extension of that organization. Whether the prejudice rises to the level of biggotry, I don't know.
I do think based on the things that usually make a program attractive to another conference, BYU has the upper hand.Comment

I think it will be funny when the School that Brigham Young founded goes to the Pac 10 and acquires the reputation as "The Mormon School."Comment

I'm guessing that the "Go back to Provo" chant will follow you around the west coast. Just show 'em by beating them!Originally posted by il Padrino Ute View PostComment

If someone accused me of being from Provo, I would punch them in the face.

"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

In any case, I just found it odd that someone living in Murray commented on what people out of the Intermountain area think."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.
