I don't where you keep getting this stuff. What makes you think none of the BYU grads in top-tier research schools don't come back to BYU? That's just nonsense.

Here are the degrees of the current faculty at the Mechanical Engineering Dept. at BYU:

Ohio State
Virginia Tech
MIT
Air Force Inst. of Tech.
Berkeley
Univ. of Utah
Purdue
Univ. of Utah
Purdue
Purdue
Michigan
Illinois
Wisconsin
RPI
Univ. of Utah
Stanford
Ohio State
Illinois
Arizona State
MIT
Utah State
MIT
Purdue
Stanford
Wisconsin
Purdue

The majority of new hires at BYU are from top-tier research schools.
