Many of us care a lot about brand equity and believe the BYU brand was damaged by adding “BYU Idaho”. But I have a feeling the BOT cares more about making Ricks to seem like a more legitimate alternative with a BYU label. In other words, they cared more about lifting Ricks than damaging BYU.

I am a pompous jerk, so be forewarned:

That seems a little excessive and mean

Isn't it against the Honor Code up there to wear shorts?

Probably, i also heard they just passed a city ordinance allowing dancing again

To be fair, there's only one day a year that's warm enough for shorts in Rexburg. Any other day is a sign of rebellion.

People seriously do this? Ughhh

It is sort of laughable that anyone would be pompous about graduating from BYU

It's even more laughable that one is so ashamed of their school that they lie.

Yep - both pathetic.

50% is pretty low when you consider the size of the school and the demographics

Acceptance rate is a bad stat based on applicant GPA ACT

Utah GPAs are silly. Like 70% of Lone Peak students graduated with high honors

65% of the student body isn’t from Utah. And the ACT is the ACT

I would argue that more than 35% of Lone Peak’s students are from Utah.

Wasn’t the shootoff thread about Utah high school students?

BYU-I acceptance rate is 95%, BYU 52%

There is a guy in my bishopric who likes to act like he is a physical therapist. He always tells stories from the pulpit

A grad school friend of mine would tell people he studied Economics at BYU

Odysseus

Did you ever ask him why he describes it that way?

I went to BYU. The weather was awesome all 5 years in the Central Pacific.

I knew a guy who said he went to school at "Berkeley".

5/29/19 3:55pm

This is like a UC Irvine grad saying he went to Univ. of California.

True. And I agree with the BoT on this one. The Church educational system

Odysseus

University of Illinois has tried to do the same type of thing

Colorado

Don’t agree 100- BYU needs to pump out serious academics so there are top level

VballDad

5/29/19 7:52pm

BYU-Idaho is currently struggling with lack of academic draw for faculty.

TheWanderer

BOT just opened BYU degrees to all returned missionaries

StalwartBraveTrue

5/29/19 11:09pm

False. They opened up Pathways.

Is Cal-Berkeley injured by UC San Louis Obispo?

Top school?
