BYU fans are typically connected at a different level.
When I lived in Boston guess what Red sox, Patriots and Jazz fan. Moved to Detroit and became a Tigers, Patriots and Jazz Fan, Moved to Houston and became a Astros, Texans and I dropped the NBA after I realized I had no connection to the game. Throughout this entire move my son became fans of the local colleges and I was ever loyal to BYU. as my boys have grown and understand that there is a LDS affiliation with the Y they became deeper fans. Let's assume the Church drops sports, I would need a team and I would NEVER pick the utes. No never.
