Not saying they couldn't. They probably could, but have made a conscious effort not to focus there. I also attended the Air Force Academy and they don't have ANY grad programs, so I get it. It's a choice, but the end result is the same - weak (overall) grad programs
The idea of going to a school in Utah was appealing since it would let us live closer to my wife's family. BYU was never seriously considered, but Utah we are least took a look at. Ultimately ended up at GaTech so very happy with that choice.
