When BYU is passed on for the Big 12, it's going to be a bitter disappointment, because that means the end of any pretense of BYU being involved in big-time sports. The gap will grow and grow and grow, and I wouldn't be surprised if sports at BYU ends (along with many other universities).
There are many on CB that will take great satisfaction for having been passed on due to the gay rights and rape issues, because that means the world has rejected what is just and right and true. The joy of the martyr.
I won't take any joy in it. I'm willing to fall on my sword. But ask me to fall on my sword so that we can exclude blacks? Come on man! Give me a better issue to die over. We have a lot of causes to fight for in this world, and you're asking me to fight for discrimination against gays? I've already lived that. I have a gay brother who is ostracized from the church. It's not "theory" for me.
