Once again someone saying something against BYU doesn’t make them anti ChristianUmmmm ...... Yes they are.
Big pass on CSU. They are getting throttled by South Dakota State right now. 28-10 mid 3rd.I would add Colorado State to your list of potentials. Yeah, I know, not a big name, but potentially could be with P5 backing.
My top 4:
BYU - They're the obvious big fish that's unaccounted for, or at least biggest not named Notre Dame.
Memphis - Still believe this is #2 on the list, due to great basketball coming back, as well as huge potential in football. Then you add the support they get from Fed-X and fans, and I see them as #2.
Cincinnati would be #3. Currently pretty good in both revenue sports, and would only get better with P5 recognition. Plus, it brings the Huggins-Cinci rivalry back. Good TV hoops game there when played in Cinci,
Houston or UCF would be a tie here at the 4th spot. Either one would be a nice addition. UCF has improved in basketball, and Houston is already a basketball power. Again, P5 status would improve both programs football recruiting. Figuring Houston would get the nod though, primarily due to Oliver Luck.
LDS believe in the TrinityOnce again someone saying something against BYU doesn’t make them anti Christian
Possibly anti Mormon but not anti Christian
Like what has been posted on here numerous times. 50% of Christians don’t believe Mormons are Christian
They are more like Jehovah Witnesses.
There is very good reasoning for their beliefs
They don’t believe in the Trinity
Mormons don’t eitherLDS believe in the Trinity
Jehovah's Witnesses do not.
Jehova's Witnesses don't believe in The Holy Ghost. Mormons do.Mormons don’t either
Don’t believe Jesus, God and the Holy Ghost are one
They have their own Trinity and believe Jesus can and has appeared throughout history
More than that they believe God has multiple sons not just Jesus Christ
Not as bad as Jehovah Witnesses but their thinking doesn’t conform to what Christianity is according to a good number of people
They teach out of the Book of Mormon and the Bible ...... both.But I like Mormons
Great family structure and they teach discipline
Actually knew a few in the Marine Corps
Cigarettes and coffee are something they don’t mess with
But they have a weird understanding of Christianity
Believe in their book more than the gospel
Go back to my reasoning…Jehova's Witnesses don't believe in The Holy Ghost. Mormons do.
Just because "a good number" of people don't believe LDS aren't Christians doesn't make it true. In that case most people believe Biden is incompetent. So, Is he or not?
that line of reasoning I would agree with.Go back to my reasoning…
Someone said something negative about BYU
RotoRooter called him anti Christian
But the majority of people who don’t believe they are Christian are Christian…
So that wouldn’t be anti Christian as much as anti Mormon
They just have a strict understanding of what is Christianity and what isn’tthat line of reasoning I would agree with.
The Christians that believe Mormons aren't Christian are wrong.
42-23 SDSt 6:30 to go. SDSt has the ball mid field.Big pass on CSU. They are getting throttled by South Dakota State right now. 28-10 mid 3rd.
They are still Christians. Every Christian denomination has different thoughts and practices.They just have a strict understanding of what is Christianity and what isn’t
Good article explaining the differences
Ultimately comes down to their understanding of who Jesus is and who the Holy Ghost is

When I am occasionally visited by those well dressed young men that call themselves 'Elders' from the Mormon Church or those sweet little old ladies from Jehovah's Witnesses I greet them with a friendly hello and hand them this. I insist they read it before we talk and they do. Then they leave.They just have a strict understanding of what is Christianity and what isn’t

Loved that song. "Why me Lord? What have I ever done to deserve even one of the pleasures I've known?" Kris Kristofferson, 85 and going strong and an actual member of Mensa. Now, if he could only carry a tune in a bucket!I don’t know for sure if they are Elders…
Mormon Church works somewhat like a business especially in Utah and Idaho
So those are the people who help the church own a lot of the businesses
Since we are on religion and expansion
This is one of the better gospel songs ever written. Kris never had really been to church before he met Larry Gatlin
Went to church with Larry and accepted our Lord into his heart…Wrote this beautiful song.
Larry Gatlin played football at the University of Houston. Was a WR for them in the late 1960’s. Was a great singer songwriter in his own right
Eternity is forever. Hope you enjoy the heat.The problems with the world is religion you hand waiving idiots are the problem
Both Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons identify as Christians, although their non-Trinitarian doctrine both deny that Jesus Christ shares a single fundamental divine essence with God the Father and the Holy Spirit — has often brought them into conflict with mainline Christian tradition.Once again someone saying something against BYU doesn’t make them anti Christian

They don’t believe in the Trinity
Absolutely nothing unless they start handing out pamphlets of their religion inside their stadiums.So if one religion prayed on their knees and the other on their head has what to do with their football and basketball teams?
Is it possible that my stuff gets even more poignant over time? F@#k I'm good.There is an off topic board. I'm all for mixing it up, but debating whether Mormons are Christians or not is completely dumb. BYU needs to be added if the Big 12 is ever going to stay at the big boy table.
It's that simple. Like them or not, they needed the invite.
BLAH!is looking to expand and is looking at the teams that I said should be targeted. So Lets look at the teams again
1. BYU- looks like this will be the first team added and is a no brainer as an add. Once the scheduling thing gets ironed out the Big 12 will have a stable quasi brand name that adds quality a good fan base , football tradition and the admin backs football/athletics . Great pick up
2. Central Florida - Huge market very good football program, fertile recruiting area , a growing fan base . Has the potential to be a monster program. This is and should be school #2 that makes it into the Big 12.
3. Cincy - has had some solid football and basketball success and might be on the cusp of a special season. The past 15 years Cincy has been quality in both BB and FB. Solid TV market. As of right now top 10 in football
4. Houston- Huge TV area, Best recruiting area in Texas. Solidifies the Big 12 footprint in Texas. School has shown it will spend $$$$$ on sports and has had teams that has beaten Oklahoma in the recent past. Like Central Florida could be a sleeping giant .
5. Memphis- Again good football and basketball , played in a new years day 6 bowl a few years ago so the school has that type of potential. Has backing from Fed Ex so $$$$$ is not a problem. Solid TV market in Memphis plus adds a SEC flavor. Solid pick up
6. South Florida- again fertile recruiting area with the school spending to make huge athletic upgrades. Sold TV market and any team in Florida has a chance to be good in a hurry
After that I like
SMU- Another Texas school but a small one so that hurts them
UNLV- Great TV market has potential but needs to improve on some things
Tulsa - Has had some solid teams but With OK St might not need another OK school
Army and Navy- Own the Army Navy Game. Talk about a $$$$$ maker. Both teams are well followed and when they play they are the only game on TV that week,so you could own one of the most watched games every year
San Diego State- gets you into Cali
Boise St- Feel good story with passionate fans
Tulane- great academics but not a year in and out solid football program
What baggage... specifically?BLAH!
I see very few of these bringing any significant degree of added reputation and thrust to the conference. They seem to me to be place holders forming a weak, ill respected grouping. BYU might be an exception, but, IMO, they also bring a lot of 'baggage' associated with the Mormon Church.
So root you asked a stupid question you got a stupid answer. As your buddy Joe Biden likes to say..."Come on man"So Allen...children posting on Twitter is your proof? Really? Come on you're better than that.
