It's high-time to get out of the MWC. We don't belong. We don't get any respect.
It's the wierdness factor, as you know. Push the brethren off the board of trustees, insitute a faculty Bill of Rights that truly does mirror the federal Bill of Rights, get rid of required religion classes, raise money for a respectable endowment, raise tuition, make BYU self-financed (i.e., cut the purse strings from the mother church), and then maybe BYU will have a ghost of a chance at attracting interest from a major conference. Maybe this is worth a RICO suit from an alumnus.
