That does appear to have happened. I found the church news article about the new stake - https://www.thechurchnews.com/1991/9/21/23260256/elder-l-lionel-kendrick-of-the-seventy/ The Fort Smith Arkansas stake also got a new stake president at the same time and it is in the same article.

Russia is the one. This site https://churchofjesuschristtemples.org/temples/chronology/ has a section at the very bottom that shows all the temples that are announced but haven't yet had any movement. It is ordered by the announcement date.

Joseph had light brown hair, so if he did get grey hair, it might have blended in nicely. That's one reason why the portrait (and this photo of it) is not accurate.

That's not a photo of Joseph Smith. That's a photo of the portrait that the Community of Christ has. And we know that it isn't perfectly accurate because it doesn't match the death mask and the profile that was done.

The Big-12 made a rule change this year and banned throwing things on the field. If fans do that, they get two warnings and then will get a 15 yard penalty. The rule change had 15 voters for it and 1 voter against it. That one voter was from Texas Tech. They have a tradition of throwing tortillas on the field. And even with the rule change, they are still throwing tortillas. It isn't as much as it used to be, but it didn't stop them - https://www.texasmonthly.com/food/texas-tech-tortilla-toss/. So I wouldn't expect a penalty to change it that much. Sport games are really easy to get caught up in the moment.

Saying "F BYU" at a football game is acceptable. For a lot of people, BYU = mormons. So, "F BYU" and "F mormons" is the same thing to them. If you are a BYU fan, then you also must be a mormon (this irritates BYU fans who are not mormons, especially those that have left the church). But it is not fine to curse a religion, so "F mormons" is wrong but "F BYU" is ok. So Colorado was fined for the "F mormons". If the fans had just said "F BYU", no fines would have occurred.

I don't think most students care about discrimination against LGBT students. They might think that there is no discrimination and not even realize BYU's policies. I would bet most of the people doing the chanting were not even thinking about LGBT discrimination but just joining in with a football chant. For example - https://onwardstate.com/2015/09/16/rutgers-fans-have-chanted-f-k-penn-state-at-every-football-game-for-a-year/. For an entire year, the Rutgers fans chanted "F Penn State" at every single game. They only played Penn State once that entire year but kept doing it for all the remaining games. It is ok to swear at the college.

If you ignore the chants about mormons, people in other leagues are definitely chanting these kind of chants. They can get a lot worse as well. The issue with the Colorado game was that they were chanting about a religion. For a lot of people BYU = mormons, Utah = mormons. So to those kids, cursing at mormons is the same thing as cursing at BYU. But it is ok to curse at BYU, but it is not ok to curse at mormons.

I don't think the Pac-10/12 would have invited Notre Dame. But Notre Dame has a lot of history with some of the schools in the Pac-10/12. It has a historic rivalry with USC and Stanford and those two (along with UCLA and Cal) are usually the ones that are mentioned when talking about who doesn't want BYU. So, if they did invite Notre Dame, it would be because of that history. Notre Dame is also a much bigger school in prestige and is an R1 level university (BYU just became R1 in the last few years because of a change to the qualifications). The other conferences (Big-10, Big-12, SEC) don't care as much about conservative leaning or religion. For those, it is more the market pull and the sports culture. The Big-12 has been called the "truck stop" conference because its schools are not academically rigorous. They only grabbed BYU because they lost Texas and Oklahoma and no one from the Pac-12 would move. BYU was the most valuable available school.

Iowa State's student body leadership did put out a statement to stop the invitation and it was because of the LGBTQ treatment - https://www.amestrib.com/story/news/2021/10/01/iowa-state-student-leaders-complain-big-12-conference-added-byu-without-input-homophobic-policies/5945731001/. They have no real power so it didn't change anything, but it was an attempt.

The PAC-12 conference and other conferences are more than just a sports conference. The schools in the conference also generally share in other things, such as academics. The PAC-12 has some really good academic schools and some of them didn't like BYU from an academics point of view. That, plus the fact that BYU is on the conservative side of the equation and is really religious, it basically killed any chance of the PAC-12 accepting them. They had no problem with playing BYU, and during the independence years, they were one of the more common opponents for BYU (even if you ignore UofU). There are Big-12 schools that also have issues with BYU. Iowa State's student body leadership complained about accepting BYU into the Big-12 (https://www.amestrib.com/story/news/2021/10/01/iowa-state-student-leaders-complain-big-12-conference-added-byu-without-input-homophobic-policies/5945731001/). Cursing and swearing at a football game or other sports game is pretty normal throughout the country. A recent famous case occurred in a game between Missouri and Kansas. A student from Missouri had the chance to kick a field goal and win some money. Instead, he lifted up his shirt which revealed "f ku" and then kicked the ball at the Kansas sideline. Both Missouri fans and Kansas fans have applauded him for his action because it showed how important the rivalry was. The problem with BYU is that it almost always brings in religion. Instead of cursing BYU, they curse the Mormons. This also occurs a few times to UofU as well since Utah = Mormons to a lot of people. If the opposing fans just stuck to cursing BYU or the cougars, I doubt there would be any issue. But when the religion comes into play, that is where they cross the lines.

I watched between those time stamps. I can't tell what is in the first video that he is showing since he goes through it too fast and doesn't have enough context. But the image that he shows and says it has a prone person on top of the Sparks Building is actually showing the shooter on top of the correct building (Losee Center). If you match up the angle of the camera at UVU, it matches up with showing the Sparks Building just to the right and the Losee Center in the background with the guy on top.
