I doubt that's happened. Somone is whining. Like any strong university Utah tries to avoid insularity and to hire from schools with more highly regarded programs. As at most any school besides Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Stanford (and maybe BYU) U of U would rather not hire its own graduates. I'm sure BYU graduates have no special cache.
