That only exists at BYU. I wonder why.

I'm not alone in my assessment of BYU. The Pac 10 agrees with me. Just look how BYU stacks up in terms of attendance:

Note also, Utah's attendance is comparable to or higher than half of the BCS schools at least. Just imagine the boost when it gets admitted to the Pac 10.
So the mission of a university is conformity and group think with no diversity. No separate missions allowed. Gotcha.
