will enter the picture and be exceptional in it's area focus, very quickly.

BYU will "catch up" and exceed many schools that have claimed superiority in medicine, research , etc.

Heck, BYU had been qualified for R1 status for a while without knowing it or seeking it. Universities put in a lot of effort to get R1 status and then flaunt it once there. BYU makes it look like no big deal.

Just like in sports: it only took BYU a couple years to "catch up" to Utah with its 10+ year head start. Honestly, many schools have had a many decade head start (think AZ schools) and BYU stepped right in ready to compete in recruiting, coaching, NIL, etc.

I love BYU.
