The LDS church exerts direct control over BYU. Their faculty have no freedom or ability to research in areas which conflict with that.
Notre Dame is not owned by the Vatican as are none of the Catholic affiliated schools in this nation. They are run by something similar to Boards of Regents which has both religious leaders and secular people on them. For example the owner of the Minnesota Twins is on Gonzaga's Board. If one of those boards voted to close one of those Universities and have them turned into a parking lot, the Vatican wouldn't have a say to it whatsoever.
But the greater point is this, I guarantee that faculty and students at every Catholic affiliated school in this nation wrote about the sex scandals and were critical of the church's handling of them. BYU allows no such dissent. Which is BYU and the LDS church's choice. However stop being shocked when a group of Universities that prize that very thing, don't want you to come along.

Just for fun this morning I decided that I would start acting right now as if the PAC-12 invite has already come. I've been walking around the office telling BYU fans that they have a pretty good little team for a mid-major. I've told BYU fans that we "might" agree to play them in a 3-1 deal over eight years in football and a 2-1 deal over five years in basketball. I've been talking about my great road trips to L.A., Palo Alto and Seattle and asked my BYU co-workers about their road trips to Albuquerque, Laramie and Ft. Collins. The Cougs pretend not to care, but you can see the concern in their eyes.
Its a thing of beauty. [Open message for image]

If you are going to come watch practice, please come and enjoy yourself. However, leave the Blackberry/iPhone in your pocket.
Feel free to come and post thoughts and observations later. However:
• Do not give specific details about offense/defense schemes and such.
• Do not speculate on injuries. You simply can not know/judge the severity of an injury. Jason Boone took one bad step and looked fine only to find out he was done for the year while Koa Misi looked like he might never play again last fall and was back in a matter of weeks.
• Again, do not be posting/Tweeting/Facebooking anything about practice live from practice.
Now, as for Nai, he was taken off the field on a cart with an apparent left knee injury to be evaluated. The extent will not be known for a day or two.

To put it another way, because you have an honor code and other principles that you want to preserve that are in contradiction with the philosophies of other schools, does that make BYU anti-Stanford or something? No. It just means your philosophies don't align.
Elected officials of Kanab shouldn't be upset when they don't get invited to a UN summit, and BYU shouldn't get upset if they don't get invited to the PAC-10 party. Don't be upset when your neighbors don't invite you over for a beer at a Sunday afternoon BBQ either. It doesn't mean they are anti-Mormon, it just means they know you aren't going to fit in very well with the other guests.
BYU is an academic institution first, no? You've made your academic standards, you are a private school, and there is nothing wrong with that, but it also comes at a price.
Really folks, the persecution complex needs to go.

- On the internet, there are people called "Trolls" --
not because they look like monsters -- but because they troll around
different message boards, throwing out little baited
hooks hoping to get a bite from some eager fish. And
like any fisherman, the Trolls won't
stay very long if no one bites
