I guess I'm confused about how Dr. Pepper even relates to football in this case, unless we're talking about the Dr. Pepper Big 12 Championship game. The BYU fan base is pretty big, but it's not like pulling in a major market. You'd have good attendance at away games, but there are only some 6 million Mormons in the USA, and not everybody likes or watches BYU football.Originally Posted by DaComeUP

A few years later, damn near that entire ND starting lineup on both sides of the ball is either in the league or on a NFL practice squad.
What's Mardy Gilyard up to?
Mardy Gilyard can't learn an NFL playbook that's what happened to him.
And I wish that Cincy team had as much talent as ND. Kelly just has to get his guys in there, honestly. Basically what he said to the media and got killed for was true. Once he gets his guys in there he'll definitely have success. ND fans shouldn't even worry.

Mormon school,. You know Mormons don't drink soda since caffeine alters the mind.
It's why the Pac 8, Pac10 and Pac 12 didn't want no part of BYU.soda? I'd say LDS people are some of the biggest soda drinkers in the country because we don't do alcohol. My family are a bunch of Dr. Pepper, Diet Pepsi, Diet Dew, etc. addicts
My mom is the worst with her Coca-Cola
BYU isn't in any major conference because it won't play on Sundays in any sport and it doesn't bring any kind of TV market with it and it's football/basketball program will never been great because of the standards that BYU has so they'll never truly field a really great team. Plain and simple.
Mormons might drink caffeine, but your leadership at BYU wasn't going to concede and say "oh well my family drinks plenty of Dr. Pepper." The TV market thing is definitely false that was a big draw for the B12. BYU is a national name. How do you get a deal with ESPN without having a national draw? The issues were playing on Sundays, Dr. Pepper, and an abundance of other things. The Big 12 didn't realize how hard it was going to be to get a deal done with BYU.
I am happy to be wrong about all this, as it's just my opinion, but I still don't get how soda was a hold up.
