Increase enrollment by 10,000 - 20,000. Where do you put them?

1: Slightly increase the size of the Provo campus. The surrounding area can't easily handle an additional 20,000, so make it 5,000.

2: Increase the Salt Lake Center by about 5,000. Do this by making it possible to earn more degrees there. Bus the students to games in Provo. Play "neutral -site" basketball games in salt lake at the whatever-it's-called arena. Most of these students will have to take some classes in Provo and thereby be connected. I hate the anti-Provo BYUtv ad for the SLCenter.

3: Create the BYU Arizona Center in the Mesa/Gilbert area. Nowhere in the church are there this many members of the church living within about a 15-mile radius without a church school in the state.

I'm not talking about a new -I or -H. I'm talking about a clone of the Salt Lake Center where students from the Provo campus might spend a semester or 2 at the Arizona campus and most students who start out taking classes at the BYUAZ Center are forced to spend a couple of semesters at the Provo campus to finish their degree, thereby strengthening the connection. The same rationale for the Salt Lake Center exists in Mesa/Gilbert. Lots of members in one city who need this option. We lose way too many people to the Devils with their nasty-expensive tuition. It's disgusting (not to mention students goin up to UVU). Or we lose people to the Siberian-distant -I, where too many of them gain little connection to BYU. -I is bursting at the seams anyway with forced sabbaticals. Give us some relief.

This mostly-commuter Salt Lake Center-clone campus could serve up to about 10,000 students. It would give us a great presence in PAC 12 country (aiding recruiting), setting the stage for games even bigger than the BYU-UofA game this year in Glendale, and it would fill an unmet educational need in the area. Because it'd be mostly commuters, there wouldn't be much need for dorms. There could be a sports bar type of eatery on campus that played every BYU game and became a community gathering place for BYU fans/LDS people.
