  • I have an idea

    BYU's track and field team is in limbo since the WCC does not host track and field teams. Since Utah doesn't have a T&F team and they need one to be in the PAC-12, why don't we just join the PAC-12 in that sport only and fill that slot for them? That way they don't have to start up a team from scratch and get embarrassed for years. Win-Win.

    Not a bad idea. It's a shame that the PAC-12 hates Mormons; otherwise, it would work.

      We wouldn't want the track team at BYU to one up the football team would we?

              It wouldn't be the first time something like that happened, not even for the Pac-10, which has SDSU as a member for men's soccer and Boise State for wrestling. You've got some very strange conference arrangements in many of the Olympic sports. There are others.

                    You know, all kidding and student-body size aside, culture wise the bYu fits really nicely into the WCC. Of course, most of those Jesuits are quite secular, but they at least understand religion in an instutiton of learning.

                      Apparently the east coast Jesuits at Georgetown have a more diffiCULT time in CUL(T)cating their students with this concept. And those same students a habit of being absent when news that displeases them is announced.

                      Not to name names.

                          Where would they train? If at BYU then this is a good idea given the exceptional facilities. If at Utah then it sucks since I doubt many college level athletes would want to train at East High School with a bunch of high school wannabe tracksters.

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
