The 'inversion' is from the fires all over the west

It won't stay like it is now.

Larger cities in Idaho mostly booming

Yep... and the jobs are coming in droves to Utah. Gear up locals!

Heber City will soon be the new Park City

No ski resorts or history. Try again

Y4Life is partially right....

Chris Bailey

The Ogden valley by Pineview will be the new park city.. its already underway

Yep Snowbasin will be the largest ski resort in the USA

So many other things can and will change in the next 50 years

macdizzle

No need to increase enrollment, all they have to do

Let's also throw in BYU-Moroni

bluegato

7/23/17 7:32am

Gotta get BYU - Moroni

Q-grr

7/23/17 4:17pm

BYU-Modesto will probably happen first. Get Californians out of the state.

Breaded Hamster

7/23/17 9:59pm

Seems so sexist. What about BYU-Sariah?

teancum

7/24/17 2:20pm

I don't think there's any indication that most of the growth will be among LDS.

SWP

7/23/17 8:07am

Those companies really aren't relocating.

VenetianCougar

7/23/17 8:15am

Probably some of them are, but not big ones

buffgato

7/23/17 8:19am

Not big ones?

VenetianCougar

7/23/17 5:47pm

So you're agreeing with me?

buffgato

7/23/17 7:41pm

I guess so! Lol thought you were saying the converse

VenetianCougar

7/23/17 8:57pm

Yeah, I meant small companies are relocating but not big companies

buffgato

7/23/17 9:45pm

I'm sure that's true for some, but certainly not true of all.

SWP

7/23/17 8:50am

Curious which companies did big relocations

VenetianCougar

7/23/17 5:48pm

Incidentally...I hope your perception is more correct than mine

If you read the data at the links, 75% of the growth in Utah Co. is from births,

It appears that the spend is going to BYUI and most likely won't go to BYU

BYUI has a lot of ridiculous policies that need to be done away with

If enrollment increase, it will have nothing to do with fans.

mudpupper

7/23/17 10:21am

Winning will make more fans than larger enrollment.

Winning is absolutely key to maintain/grow fanbase, but over 1 million LDS in...

BamaCoug

Valid point

zerome4sooners

7/23/17 8:10pm

Because of LDS ties, enrollment is significantly less important to BYU sports than at other schools. As millionaires are

Oh brother, you got yours, now you want to slam the door on the up and comers.

"Slam the door" ??? The acceptance rate is 50%. There are 30k seats at the school. And for so many of the best students

HarlemCoug

Is 50% acceptance a bad thing for a non-Ivy? It's a massive university with

I disagree. BYU and the church benefit from having many & various types of grads

I'm not sure I agree that the amount of people is that high who could

Not really. The Provo landlords routinely put kids on the street

No doubt. Enrollment expansions wouldn't be done to increase fans/fill stands,

That's like someone in L.A. saying that Palmdale would be the biggest city.

COACHdrn

7/23/17 10:21pm

I'll let the population growth planner know you disagree.

Bullrider

7/24/17 2:05pm

They don't need more people in order to fill it.

Lavell regulary filled it with half the population.

The church may not want to subsidize 2 or 3x the number of students they are

Big Daddy D

As the LDS population gross, I do think they should increase enrollment..

I bet they'll buy SVU before they increase enrollment

They need a BYU East and a BYU California
