I agree. Outside of Utah people don't know the difference which frustrates me.

It would be like an SUU student saying that he graduated from Utah. They are different schools, different requirements, etc. so they should be more differentiated in their name.

It isn't elitist to say BYU is not BYU-Provo because it is BYU

Calling BYU by its name is arrogance?

The only people who care about this are Utes who want to make fun of BYU

It's not offensive, it's just wrong. They have different entrance criteria.

Calling the Y BYU-Provo is going Mormon PC. Slippery slope.

Of course. Have you have ever heard of a non sequitur?

The problem with BYU Idaho is that it shouldn't be carrying the BYU name. Not the same school, not the same admissions
