People, including Nick Saban, say Jordan-Hare Stadium is haunted
So, of course, I called experts, spent hours in the Auburn library researching past land use, bought ghost-hunting gear, used the ghost-hunting gear and tried to find out the truth
The results:

Baylor is still quite religious, and they're in the Big 12.
BYU *is* pretty academically selective....but its also one of the two largest residential private colleges in the US. There aren't many very church schools that are *large* enough to justify P4 level athletic investments.

some of them probably do, but thats not Bannon's group. Kirk was at UVU because UVU has a big TPUSA Chapter! I dont like TP by any means but im not going to pretend that's an explicitly anti-mormon organization. At least, not at the moment

Like this skeet if I was one of the first Mormons you ever met/meaningfully interacted with. I suspect we’re going to get at least five likes.
I think you were the second Mormon I met in my life when we first linked up!

My theory is that there are lots of powerful groups who dislike Mormons, real life mormons are heavily geographically concentrated, and they're almost completely absent from mass media or "elite" institutions. So they're easy to pick on, and most people dont actually know many mormons (if at all)

the last time I went to Provo, I went on a BYUTV segment around noon. By 7:00 PM, when I went to watch a volleyball game, multiple people recognized me and wanted to buy stickers and stuff for my kids. An usher had a WELCOME TO PROVO gift basket. The allegations are true (they're super nice)
