The Rant: LGBT Big 12 Controversy
KFOR ^ | AUGUST 9, 2016 | Kevin Ogle

Posted on 08/09/2016 5:55:07 PM PDT by nickcarraway

A lot of talk lately about the Big 12 Conference adding teams.

One possibility.. high-profile Brigham Young University.

But a gay advocacy group has written a letter to the Big 12 commissioner urging him not to consider adding BYU to the conference saying the Mormon school is discriminatory against the LGBT community.

What should the commissioner do?

It’s all about money; that will drive his decision.

Well, big business is pushing LGBT for all it’s worth.

I hope they deny them membership, announce this is the reason why, and then get sued for religious discrimination. I know, wishful thinking.

I was trying to avoid the nonsense going on in the NFL by focusing on the NCAA. But I guess that's now out of the question.

Maybe I'll start going to local high school football games.

Tell them all that BYU is following and adhering to their Christian principles and that they will not be excluded for that reason. Also inform them that LGBT is a mental disorder affecting individuals and will not be foisted upon an entire university or athletic conference at the whims of those that are afflicted by the disorder. Enuf said.

They should do as directed by the LGBT controlling authority. Resistance is futile. All things in the future must be approved by them before anything can be done.

LGBTMNOPQRST or not, if Big12 lets in the likes of BYU, it will be Conference USA. No more power conference.

Big 12 needs to go. Let’s get it down to 4 major conferences and make the playoffs easy.

If each conference has a semi-final and final, you’ve got your 16-team playoff right there.

Oh come now, surely BYU is several steps above Rice - especially at the gate.

agreed..four power conferences makes perfect sense, which is why the NCAA will never make it happen...and, also, there will never, as in never ever, be a 16 team playoff in college football; way too many ...

“Men on Football” from In Living Color, I think that particular skit was from a special Super Bowl halftime edition they ran that year.
