capital and creating amazing products (and pretty great jobs too....)

as a sidebar.... I think that the rise of Lehi will actually benefit BYU in the long run.... once some more of these stock options vest and we have more 30 something millionaires... my hope is that they'll chose to donate to BYU (and to the sports programs specifically). Hopefully these millionaires are going to want great seats and they'll pay for them....

BYU is making progress... no doubt. I've been in NYC for 20 years (I traded equity for years but now I buy/manage real estate - the after tax consequences of real estate are superior to equity trading in a City with income tax rates north of 50%).

Many of my BYU peers in NYC were pioneers in the i-banking world. They had to overcome what was then seen as an inferior BYU degree to get their jobs. They had to be better than everyone else... then once they were in ... they often stuck their neck out to help other BYU grads get hired.

I just don't want to see the progress reversed... adding 5,000 students (when we already accept 50% of applicants) will hurt our brand.
