    Yes, I love the whole "Oh noez! We can't expose ourselves to greater academic standards and research! The horror!" flavor of that "article".

    Maybe this guy has been reading Scientific American.

        No gripe whatsoever. I just don't want my law firm to have its offices blessed by one of The Brethren.

        Quite the contrary, in fact, I'd rather see my law firm blessed by Michael Ballam.

            I like that they're really just thinking about the WCC and Utah State. Utah would never care the way BYU cares, it's kind of touching.

                    Yeah, Utah is evil though, so this only corroborates the story.

                            I have no feel for this. That league will need to see benefits that mitigate any of the handful of complications that BYU would bring with it. The B12 is going to get a massive media deal with ten teams.

                                    The ones I know there are also really great people. The McConkies are all Democrats, so that explains a lot of it.

                                            It takes special journalistic skillz to know that "Joe Demagio's" record is unbreakable.
