school would have offered me a bunch of money for me to play for them, all the more reason I would have stayed.
Should I have moved to Utah and gone to Tempview, or better yet American Heritage, to play and avoid as many students and faculty as possible who saw the church in the same way that I saw jehovah's witnesses and muslims and atheists?
Maybe if they were going to pay me more than my high school in this hypothetical. But in this hypothetical, my high school would be the Oregon and paying me a lot more than Tempview High School or American heritage. And some would say attending a school with the same pre-determined continual feedback loop isn't actually optimal for growth in many facets.
I attended BYU idaho, UVU for a couple classes, utah, and byu. I felt most uncomfortable at Utah but arguably grew the most there in some important areas.
Having said all that, I want all the best LDS players on BYU's team because I'm a BYU Sports Fan and I'm selfish:)
