That mindset is not as prevalent as people might think
Yes, there's people that just hate BYU more and that'll probably always be the case. But over the last 10 years I can tell you from both personal interactions and online that there are quite a few who now have a greater hatred of Utah than BYU for exactly the reasons you mentioned.

The crap they've pulled ever since getting sloppy-seconds into the Pac-12 has been unreal and a chunk of their fan-base went from "It's ridiculous the way P5 members think they're better" to "We're P5 and shouldn't condescend to play those guys unless it's 100% on our terms." And you'll note that USU has not contracted to play Utah since they joined the Pac-12 (the games played while in their new conference were signed before).

I think the administration largely feels the same way. Sort of a "We're happy to play, but if you think we're gonna do a 2 for 1 or a body bag game when you're doing home-and-home with SDSU, Wyoming, and Northern Illinois..... forget about it."
