I will note that, yes, I DO take note of BYU versus BYU-Idaho for applicants.
It is an honest and requisite move to represent one's university in the least ambiguous way possible. Thank you for doing so.

Some recruiters will not care about the BYU and BYU-I difference. Hiring managers will care though. Whenever I review or interview candidates that claim they went to BYU, I always probe to see if they actually did. (I live in Idaho and have been lied to on the matter before).

As I have stated many times, a math degree from BYU-Idaho will not currently take you as far as a math degree from BYU. I have been overall somewhat unimpressed by many of their math students/department at BYU-Idaho. Sloppy, error filled work, that I have to later go back and fix. There is a distinct difference in my opinion. If that makes me elitist, so be it.
