If it's academics alone, then nobody should select any other school over Stanford, but plenty make that choice.

I think BYU offers a different academic opportunity. The student body is very capable and from my experience a capable student body is one of the biggest ingredients of a good education, it fosters competition and peer learning. Where I went to school has, IMO, a very similar model as BYU's and I thought it was a great experience. It is also the only place a mormon could get a secular education in an environment structured around totally supporting LDS goals. To some that is attractive. I think dismissing either so quickly is pretty shortsighted and myopic. There is far more to academic opportunities than where an institution is graded by US News and World Report or where various snobbish elites hold it in esteem or reputation. Personally, I made my college choice on where the ladies had the bigger racks!

I am sure it is because of BYU fans that they do it as well.

Goat I'm sorry but if you based your college choice on big racks and this is the best Army has you didn't look around much.
