Sports are the biggest headache for a University President...
It makes no sense for the Church to run more than one sports program at its universities.
As much as people talk about how much sports fit into the missionary program of the church, educating the masses is a much higher goal in my opinion.

Are you willing to submit that the name of BYU-Idaho was inspired?

Sounds like cost. Most athletics programs are not self-sustaining.

If you weaken entry standards, you are prone to weaken the overall rigor.

I don’t know but my guess is the rigor is region dependent.
