    I read, and have not tried to confirm, that part of the furor over the mosque is derived from the City of New York trying to create financial incentives to build this house of worship elsewhere but the organization thumbed their nose at the offer. Has anyone else here heard this portion of the story? As a related question, does such information matter?
    All I've heard is that the Gov. of NY offered some state land for the mosque if they build it elsewhere. Someone complained on Constitutional grounds, I understand, and I am not sure the proposal went anywhere.

      Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”
