We cant compare BYU to Utah anymore. The institutions have very different goals.

Utah is committed to winning. BYU makes sure nobody’s feelings get hurt.

Nobody cares about the olympic sports. Its a fact.

You're right. 60k show up to watch tennis.

You said it yourself, "past storied." 2010 seems like a long time ago.
