Those of you who laughed or disagreed with this must not live in Utah...

The hallmark of my BYU fandom is not living in Utah

BYU's fanbase growth in Utah slowed down way before 2004.

Weird. Most people can't get into USC nor ucla either. Mich and ND are both

The presence of a viable alternative plays a role. I'm not disputing that.

You do not live in Utah, therefore you are assuming and in this case you are

There have been market studies and surveys done on this.

Yeah. I hear Stanford is easier to get in these days.

It plays a role but nowhere near the level of what I mentioned...

Market size and competition definitely play a role.

I don't disagree with this at all...

All I'm saying is that Utah's growth would've eventually happened anyway.

You've neglected demographic changes which are not approaching equilibrium.

62% LDS now, projected LDS minority anywhere between 2030 and 2060

lol...1/3 of the state is not "Ex-LDS".

I lumped ex and inactive. <50% of Utahans who identif as LDS identify as active.

Nope. It's interesting that I see tons of LDS kids in BYU gear around here

I live and work in SLC. Maybe paranoid, but wearing BYU gear feels rebellious.

Based solely on my time at BYU, it seemed like BYU wasn't popular with Utahns

Waning Church activity/identity probably contributes quite a bit to this too.
