Is it appropriate for BYU vs. TCU to be a stake youth activity?
The stake will use tithing funds to pay for tickets for all youth in our stake to attend the game. This would be the 2nd or 3rd year in a row.

Well, it IS the Lord's University.

Our ward just took the entire youth group to BYU vs. TCU in Provo a couple of weeks ago (I think BYU offered some kind of deal on group tickets because I saw a lot of youth groups there that night). There were plenty of Ute fans and non-fans (both adults and youth) in our ward that participated and none of them raised a stink. At its base level, sports is entertainment and I don't think it makes a difference if you spend it on mini-golf, bowling, or going to see basketball game.

Setting aside the discussion of whether activities are supposed to have some redeeming spiritual value (spare me the football/religion jokes), I have a problem with using church funds for it, yes. If the leaders absolutely want to go, fine, but have the kids/parents pay for it themselves.

Why the heck the not? I've known mutual groups that have gone bowling, to minor league baseball games, etc. What's the difference?

Many of the games this year are on Weds nights. It makes it a convenient activity. BYU offers a very cheap rate ($3 per person) for "youth groups" (except for big games like BYU-Utah - where they actually increase the prices). I just canceled mutual on the BYU-Utah night. I wasn't going to miss it, nor was I going to make someone else miss it.
