pam Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 ksl.com - Mendenhall: Cougars may have been left out of Pac-10 because of religionLAS VEGAS -- Is it the Sunday games, the academics or something else? The man at the helm of the BYU football program suggests the thing keeping the Cougars out of another conference might be religion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moksha Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Some of the pundits from the PAC-10 were suggesting it had a lot to do with with BYU's primary focus on undergraduate education*. That seems like a pretty flimsy reason considering college sports involve undergraduates. *BS, BA and Mrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubaloth Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 (edited) Yes it was Religion. Not because they are LDS, but because its a Religious school. Edited July 29, 2010 by tubaloth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormonboy51 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 The pac 10's reason was pretty lame considering the other schools in their conference who focus on undergraduates too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moksha Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Those other conferences should realize that with just a simple request from a GA, bowl games could be packed with Mormons - complete with baggies full of Cheerios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
