Amazing how quickly he rolled over when the letter from the church arrived. I'm guessing not an alpha male :smile:

I'm guessing a guy with a mortgage and a job at BYU.

The article says he works at BYU. Most Mormons I know would have caved.

I think he understood his job with BYU might be in danger if he didn't.

I wonder whatever happened to "I teach them correct principles and let them govern themselves"? There certainly doesn't seem to much "governing themselves" going on anymore.
