I love the concept but imagine you would get HUGE pushback

I suspect the same. Big politics have got to be involved. Way too much love-

If ASU would let us in their conference I'd say show some deference.

I like the idea, but a satellite campus in AZ with no sports

Isn't the church already doing something similar to that? Maybe there is not a

Agreed. Mesa is about 12% LDS, Gilbert 15%, Queen Creek probably even higher %

The current perception is that there is dearth of options in Phoenix outside ASU

Don't water down my degree from BYU. If you want BYU-AZ then ok, but BYU already has too many students. The bottom

My experience tells me you are likely hiring

I know some quality kids who didn't get into BYU

Dude, BYU will never be comparable to an ivy league or even Stanford.

monkeycowboy

2/23/17 7:56am

There are still WAY TOO MANY employers who won't recruit on our campus. It's a huge disservice to the top

HarlemCoug

2/23/17 8:06am

I think the recruiting has way more to do with people not being willing to leave

Good memory - yes, I'm a huge advocate for increasing the donor base and eliminating all church dollars for the

The recruiters you are talking about don't hire a lot of people period...

Fair points - but note that many of the best tech companies aren't hiring at BYU either. Accounting firms are 2nd

BYU does require proactive effort to find your way in to cool companies but...

I'm in NYC and UT. I think what's happening in Lehi is awesome. So many great companies are finding significant

What's pathetic and sad about this is that you seem to have no idea how

It's more the generation than the school. And your snobbishness about having gone to BYU is just silly. It's really

Are you new to Cougarboard? A BYU degree is apparently a golden ticket to life

I've heard a BYU degree automatically assures you celestial glory

Dscharf

2/23/17 9:29am

There are plenty of very good students turned away. We could increase by 10,000

this is just not true.

Trent

2/23/17 3:51pm

No, its not. But crazy high entrance requirements are not the end-all for BYU

Dissenter

Don't blame the school because you're not good at interviewing to screen

molodyets

I didn't hire the bad ones - I interviewed and rejected the bad ones.

a degree is a degree. I dont care where its from. Hiring is about the individual

Serving 10,000 students would require a huge infrastructure

mudpupper

2/23/17 8:12am

So make it 5,000 or 6,000. Plenty would want to spend a semester there.

AZcougLawyer

Infrastructure should not be a problem. There are 5 YSA stakes

Since reality isn't a CB requirement, expansion should focus on recruiting.

Is the church in the education business?

Samuel Hall Society

Yes, it's expensive, if that's what you mean.

AZcougLawyer

2/23/17 10:19am

BYU Pathway is where further expansion will happen. I'd love a BYU here in AZ

Interesting ideas.

The number one priority for the Leaders of the Church is to keep the cost as low

coot20

2/23/17 11:44am

Yes, keep costs low, like City Creek and Philadelphia high-rise, etc.

AZcougLawyer

Maybe the number 1 priority is protecting temples. Well 2 to protect nearby.

The AZ and Cal centers could offer classes for freshman only.

There just isn't a single UVU student who could make it at BYU.
