BYUI still wouldn't be able to. Let's be honest. Most FCS schools get subsidized by taxpayer funds in Utah.
As does Snow, Dixie. The church sees it and isn;t going down that road.
Same reason UVU isn;t starting a football program, even as an FCS. It's a money loser without big support.

They are doing that to both. Just because it is second tier doesn't mean it is

The facilities are better than BYU, no doubt

I'm not in favor of expanding BYU to increase fans, but it's different than BYUI

I think a small d2 basketball team would be a good addition

Sounds to me like you tie too much of school pride to athletics.

How expensive do you really think UVU's athletics budget is?

No football certainly makes it far less expensive. But men's hoop would still have to subsidize it all.
