if the church no longer subsidizes tuition at BYU, yes, the place would be radically different. Would be like southern virginia. Or SMU.
I'm not a legal expert, but I wonder if we might see a situation where no BYU students could get federal aid (loans or pell grants). That would be a hardship which would impact many.
This is really a case where the leadership of the church has no answers for its members (i.e. there is no doctrine about why people are gay, there is even denial that being gay is something that actually occurs--hence the refusal to say the word, just that some have same sex attraction). Where leadership fails, the people perish. And we see that literally. With gay Mormon suicides.
