For me, BYU provides an excellent education in a great environment with incredible history and fan support (especially in olympic sports).

Their parents certainly are looking for culture and academics, and I’d bet a lot

This, along with the RBC's efforts to educate and prepare athletes financially for life after sports, is huge IMO.
