I've been trying to find a smiley we can name after scratch. This captures the concept perfectly but needs some work:
Welcome to the neighborhood, buddy.

Your facts are half correct. There is pressure on Utah's athletic department to put the Holy War on hold, but it is not from the PAC-12. It is from higher up in the administration at the University. And I can assure you that my two sources on the topic absolutely trump anything you think you have.
Fair enough. I respect your input. I'll just add that I'm not the only one that has heard this, and I've talked to other people with very good Utah connections who confirm it.
But, I also understand situations are complex and there are usually more than two sides to every story.

I should also add that the motivation has very little to do with marginalizing BYU. Much of you(or your sources) interpretation of the facts are spun to help BYU play the victim card.
JIC speaks the truth.

If the word is they don't want to do that why do they not want to play BYU? I am interested in the real reasons if you are privy to them.

I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

Duh, because the folks on the hill with any intelligence at all realize if they marginalize BYU they will lose the spiritual and financial support of good mormons everywhere.

That's why they have to spin it and get guys like JIC to unwittingly do their PR for them.

I'd tell you but Indy just banished me from this thread.
