WV "Sources" say BYU and UConn football only...

It just might be minimal. That's because sources say BYU and UConn are going to join the league as football-only members. UConn's basketball program wants to join the Big East anyway, so it makes sense.


Besides, this way ESPN and Fox Sports won't have to ante up as much TV revenue to BYU and UConn and current Big 12 members won't see their shares diminish as much.

UConn football only?

Don't you have some experience co-opting Native American names?

No comment.

UConn football only?

are there even any G5 conferences that would take UConn football only?

My last wish before we get kicked out of the NCAA is that we beat Utah. Would be nice to end this run with scoreboard.

In the NCAA's own words, "NCAA championships and events must promote an inclusive atmosphere for all college athletes, coaches, administrators and fans."

The association's claim to protect "all" so far hasn't extended to student-athletes at BYU and other Christian schools that isolate and target gay people with policies and practices.

If the NCAA is serious, it is only a matter of time before BYU gets kicked out of the association. And every other school with an anti-LGBT policy will be removed as well.

If they are not removed in a timely fashion, this move by the NCAA out of North Carolina was truly just a public relations maneuver that I'm afraid too many people fell for.

It's remarkable that schools like BYU haven't been kicked out of the NCAA already, given the association's claims of dedication to equality. BYU's policies are far more sinister and discriminatory than North Carolina's HB2 law. While the law bars discrimination protection and forces trans people to use the bathrooms of their birth sex, BYU's policy outright discriminates against the entire LGBT community at every level and bans homosexuality all together.

Don't overreact. There's still a place for you. I know bob Jones is a member.

Alas, I don't know if the Utes will be able to play BYU. It depends on what the NCAA and the Pac 12 want.

We could totally win a lot of championships in that division.

The Bob Jones types view us with a disdain matched only by the LGBTQ types. Everyone hates us and that's how we know we're right.

You picked well JL. There is a much deeper well for vuvuzela pics than there is for Hallelujah covers.

Monty means that he needs people to follow him. His sources? Ha

That's how I feel about all these twitter prognosticators. They are all twats but pretty fun to follow in the same way it's fun to gossip about somebody who isn't in the room. It's worthless and actually probably makes you feel worse in the end, but it's a good time waster.

The ACC follows the NCAA's action.

I won't connect the dots vis-à-vis BYU and its Big 12 application so as not to annoy creekster.

SU, if the country decided that champagne coolies were making fun of transgender individuals would you stop drinking them?

I thought not. Ha! I caught you!

Wow, with the NCAA and ACC doing this, Duke is going to have to play all of their post season basketball games outside of their home state. That's probably never happened before.
