Then I'm curious why they think so
I'm genuinely not seeing long-term value of a highly centralized church educational institution like BYU (in its current form).

Pathway is a great new option, but real physical campuses in some areas would

Point taken for not mentioning BYU Pathway — but I'm not sure it's really the change I'm talking about

In case you haven't heard, there's the Pathways program.

BYU Pathways is for this purpose, but the Church will always emphasize higher education

Why do you think the church will always want/need a "centerpiece" for its education system?

Until BYU-I literally can't handle another student, that won't happen.

I actually think this might happen

Well that will be too late. You kind of need to anticipate the need and be proactive about it.

I think we're closer to that than you realize.

I doubt the church will ever add another BYU.

By those numbers, BYU-Hawaii is the one that should be capped/done away if any

Why does everyone always add an "s" to Pathway? It's BYU Pathway.

But if all the teaching is online, what is the benefit of a physical university?

Demand to have a physical location will stop an all online university. BYU
