Picked up 1 UVU FT hire in addition to a few BYU grads. They are all good, but the UVU grad is turning out to be the best of the bunch from that year.

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.)

Students of every decent school do this

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

I'm not comparing the two schools.

I wonder who is actually saying stuff like that...oh yeah,

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.

Our pivot from being the outside guy to now being exclusionary has been quick

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.

I disagree. What are your measurables?

Plato

12/8/22 9:20am

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

There is no school that provides more academic value from the experience than

Did you type this correctly?

Plato

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

I spent too much time attending that crap hole institution

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

Isn't UVU the BYU annex campus?

Mister P

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

novacoug1

#89 out of thousands is pretty exclusive

especially because our church seeks to unite, not divide. Most UVU/USU/BYUI kids

Yep, we see it in sports as well.

Is that something you learned at BYU-Provo?

Not familiar with that school

Totally agree. You want to know why so many people hate BYU and its alumni? It’s
