Horrible location for a university. It was a mistake to double down on it.
Should have kept it a JC and maintained athletics. Should have started another school somewhere else—preferably CA, PNW, or southwest.

Yes, in addition to Hawaii. It's small, far away, and doesn't get the demand

Perfect location geographically, but nothing else about it makes any sense.

To me, it isn’t the location, it’s the forced absence of school spirit.

BYU I does little to help expand the footprint of the church. That would be a penny wise, pound foolish type move.

It's the only plausible way the Church will ever "expand" a BYU.

If you build it they will come. BYU Idaho should stay as the BYU safety school.
