Went to Utah as they offered a night program for grad school at the time that BYU didn't. I had a mortgage and a family. Somethings are more important than footbally allegiances. I would have loved to go to BYU and frankly I very much disliked my experience at the U due to all of the anti-mormon BS that permeates all over campus like a dense fog.
My BYU allegiances were never in question
