Jay Drew discusses the possibility that BYU would end sports

I could definitely see that happening, if the PR from BYU sports becomes so toxic due to the church's social conservatism defined by anti-gay policies and rhetoric and political action.

Protests, teams refusing to schedule us, boycotts.

Jay Drew: BYU and its fans are committing seppuku.

There's even talk about the end of BYU sports on cougarboard. If I posted the same sentiment I would be banned for "trolling."

I don't think it's quite sunk in yet for BYU fans. We are going to be in the Boise State category, most likely, for here and evermore. If we continue to exist at all.

One of the great mainstreaming forces of Mormonism will disappear. Sports. I hope Gerrit Gong et al. are paying attention.

Agreed. Leadership has no vision how important sports are.

Changes I would make.

Fix the honor code to avoid problems with gays.
Make it reviewed by ecclesiastical leaders with no bearing upon academic standing
Allow playing championship games on Sunday.

Make those changes and BYU will thrive. Falling on one's sword is a dumb idea.

don't forget handling rape allegations in a sane and humane way.

New policies adopted.

Too little too late.
