  • I was too quick on the trigger...this is good news, not great news, but good news.
    "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. Uchtdorf

    • This is great news. Did you really expect them to announce teams today? No. But they essentially announced that they are moving forward with expansion.

        It would have been nice if they had.

        • This is very good news. Criteria put forth by the leaders put BYU in a very very good spot.

                What's the criteria?
                Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                • Question: is expansion likely or probable?

                  Answer: We want to move forward. Positive step. Not yet a decision about anyone in particular or the form expansion will take. Clearly exploratory but a step forward. Took a vote and everyone was supportive.

                    Fanbase, school prestige, financial added value...

                    Same crap that the dude from CB researched for months
