      Yes. In fact, given how much the folks in Big 12 country like to discriminate against the LGBTs they are most likely flooding the presidents with letters begging to let the damn mormons in.

        I really do enjoy watching the hole you dig for yourself. I mean, honestly, I think this is the first time I've ever heard of this shame list, and I have a vested interest in things LGBTQ owing to friends and family. I look forward to your next grasp at straws.

                What are you talking about? They nearly tripled their basketball attendance numbers from this last year. Since that is their only real frame of reference for sports attendance, the probably figured they knocked it out of the park.

                          Actually, I am not a very tense person. And if BYU gets into the B12 it would help even more.

                          And, to be clear, I have not been asking SU and cereal boy and their ilk to leave the site, just to stay out of this and related threads.

                            From that article. SU will be happy to know that Rice is still under consideration, although may not after it was drubbed by directional Kentucky last night.

                            Those 11 schools are Air Force, BYU, UCF, Cincinnati, UConn, Colorado State, Houston, Rice, South Florida, SMU and Tulane. The list does not include Temple, which had been previously reported by ESPN as still being in the mix.

                            Next week in Dallas, representatives from each of those 11 schools will make in-person presentations to Big 12 officials, sources said. The league has said it hopes to make a decision on expansion by the Big 12's regularly scheduled board of directors meeting on Oct. 17.

                              If anything, that makes Rice MORE attractive to SU since he understands this isn't about sports. Well -- at least he hopes it isn't because if it is the result for him isn't good.
