Cool BYU-Ricks & other LDS Colleges

I hope I helped clarified the info concerning BYU-Ricks (um...Idaho) athletics. I was greatly opposed to them doing away with athletics & reducing it to intramural, especially with it being a feeder for BYU & BYU-Hawaii athletics, as well at Utah State, Boise State, and University of Utah who benefited from BYU-I athletics transfers. The last year of athletics the Football team did win the Real Dairy Bowl, as they were a perennial powerhouse. LDS Business College once had athletics, not to mention a very good basketball program w/ many undefeated seasons, but their sports program was chopped in the 50s/60s. I attended there a few semesters to keep up w/ my studies when I went to Salt Lake to work for a while. The campus has also moved from 400 East & South Temple to the old Triad Center (former KSL studios), west of Temple Square. BYU-Salt Lake is basically evening classes only & holds their classes in LDSBC's campus. There's a little know BYU campus in the South Pacific that has a athletic program too. There's also Southern Virginia University, not church owned, but owned by LDS Businessmen & ran like BYU and it's other campuses. They are a Division 2 school, but have done well in sports. They are often nicknamed BYU-East. I know they have Basketball, Soccer, and Cross Country programs, but can't remember all sports programs they have. A few years back, 2 girls from Connell HS played Soccer for them. BYU has 1 Girls Basketball player & 2-3 for Football from Connell.
