    Is this what you think is going to happen or are you hearing this somewhere?
    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.”

                  No wonder you are confused then.

So please go home and write articles about the ole miss game and why everyone should convert. Thank you."

                      Or at least figure out a way to get paid in the first 4 years of membership

                        "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

                                Is this what you're hearing in Oklahoma (or wherever you live)? Or did someone pass this along to you?
