    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.

            Now you all need to pray that the Evangelicals don't nix the entire thing. I'll rub my lucky rabbit's foot.

                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.

                      Possible to have this done before October.

                          Unanimous vote for expansion. Man, I've never felt so good about BYU's chances.

                            Could get expansion for 17-18 season.

                                They want this done fast. Sounds like before October and in time for 2017 season
