    The big thing keeping BYU out of the BIG12 is the sorry state of the women's gymnastics "program."
    No Sunday play being the obstacle is a euphemism for anti-Mormonism which is very prevalent in the Big 12 in all its manifestations. BYU will never get in the Big 12.

      Now I'm confused. Is it the Big 12 or the PAC 12 that is anti-Mormon?

There are plenty of reasons BYU might not get in and all of them have to do with football. If we don't get in SU will will point to icky CULTure, you will point to Sunday play, but what it really comes down to is if BYU is more attractive in football than its counterparts.
              Why does it matter the reason if BYU doesn't get in? It's not like I'd demand that all of you folks eat crow.

                If BYU isn't a better football choice than the other teams they're considering, then I don't know when we'll ever be.

                        Glad to know the Lord's rules are weird to you. Not helping your Ute heathen stereotype.

                          This is an excellent point.

                                It's a sport in which we rarely lose to BYU. Not unlike football.
