are LDS. Why would we create "-ites" in our community by creating divisions when it's not needed? Sure, if I'm applying for a job, I want people to know I went to the school in Provo. But in regular conversations? It doesn't matter and is just divisive and snobby.

Suggestion: Stop belittling schools like UVU. It's dumb and plays into the snob

No.

UVU is Utah’s open enrollment university. They aren’t remotely close to BYU.

Not as true as it used to be.

But his point is we don't need to show that off and brag about it all the time

You are missing the point by a mile. (And making his point at the same time.)

Stating facts isn't belittling them. Of course context matters, so when

In the past UVU was never trying to be competitive with BYU athletically

You can “state facts” in a belittling way. A lot BYU students/alumni do it.

This has nothing to do with being P5. This is comparing academics

BYU has the best students, doesn't mean the best academics.

I've never said I look down on UVU or their students. I haven't even implied it.

Schultz is back

I disagree. What are your measurables?

Plato

I take part of that back. The special part of BYU academics is that

Yes, not all students but qualified students who don't get in

UVU is a good option for kids who want a BYU experience but can't get in

They're two different schools that serve two completely different purposes.

BYU is a better academic institution and a better platform to post graduate work

12/8/22 9:17am

Isn't UVU the BYU annex campus?

Not sure what's going on in the Provo/Orem area regarding belittling a university but just a quick look at rankings

BYU isn't even that hard to get into. It's like #89. Imagine if our football
