BYU-Modesto will probably happen first. Get Californians out of the state.

I don't think there's any indication that most of the growth will be among LDS.

I guess so! Lol thought you were saying the converse

Yeah, I meant small companies are relocating but not big companies

I'm sure that's true for some, but certainly not true of all.

Because of LDS ties, enrollment is significantly less important to BYU sports than at other schools. As millionaires are
