We have a whole lot of white fans who want the face of BYU football to be white, and the stars (for the most part) to be white.

I predict there will be some ugliness as we go through this transition.

That is doubtful. Mormons strive for acceptance so much that minority athletes will be deified for the most part. That doesn't mean if there are some HC violations that the Relief Society Presidency won't have a thing or two to say about it but as a rule, LDS view themselves as non-discriminatory and above racism, history notwithstanding.

In fact, if we can minoritize the football team further and dilute the white face even more, it might go a way toward changing attitudes among the leaders.

Although there may be some honorifics toward minorities, LDS generally do not understand minority cultures. Ignorance will surface from time to time, but hopefully all of this can be a good thing.
