I live and work in SLC. Maybe paranoid, but wearing BYU gear feels rebellious.
Honestly, I think most SLC citizens have come to see BYU fans as a parody. In simple terms, BYU isn't cool in Utah. I probably don't help correct that perception.

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.

There have been market studies and surveys done on this.

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

Market size and competition definitely play a role.

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

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