BYU. There is nothing wrong with BYU Idaho or BYU-Hawaii, but they are not BYU. I have never had anyone ask me which BYU I attended and I have spent the majority of my post BYU time outside of Utah.

The problem is, when someone says "BYU" the reply is sometimes "which one?"

I propose we just call it 'THE BYU' for the Provo campus. The Ohio St does it,

Of course, when people call Cal UC Berkeley, they usually don't get upset by it.

I only hear people from Idaho or BYU-I grads call it that.

People in Hawaii refer to BYU-Hawaii as "BYU" all the time.
