Why take USU if you are the PAC? Set first choices UNLV and AFA aside,

Higher ratings, higher attendance, R1 research, more competitive teams, bigger endowment..should I keep going?

That all sounds made up, if that's true that's a recent development and total

USU isn’t even thought about in SLC. They are so far below BYU and Utah.
