This of course is the coup de grace for BYU's Big 12 chances:

I say coup de grace because BYU has been intolerable overall and this is just emblematic. BYU has been receiving courtesy consideration. Whether in red or blue states university communities are similar.
I marvel that you guys can still call yourself Mormons and be BYU fans in this age. It's totally pointless fortitude, like watching somebody walk on a high wire between tall buildings or swallow swords, but fortitude nevertheless, in a narrow sense.
