The REAL story is that this behemoth cult no longer needs to fund lower level sports programs as their reach is widespread, including among major power conferences. They can place any of their member students into sports programs across the nation if the athlete is good enough. You have to look no further then UH of past several years where second tiered Mormon players found a spot on the various teams UH runs (especially football). Why have a money losing lower level program of your own when you can have other universities foot the bill?
