BYU hopes to make big impact in WCC

While that is true, finding a home for other sports -- most notably, men's basketball -- was critical in BYU's move to football independence. Along with securing a television partner in ESPN and airing other sports programming on the school-owned BYUtv, West Coast Conference membership was critical in BYU leaving the Mountain West to become a football independent . By most metrics, BYU is moving into an inferior basketball conference. Since 2000, BYU has been an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament seven times. The entire West Coast Conference has produced the same amount of at-large bids over the same span. Only in recent seasons has Saint Mary's emerged as a consistent foil to Gonzaga's WCC dominance. "Even when I was in the Pac-10 [as coach at California ], they'd take football more seriously than the other sports even though their other sports are very, very good," Holmoe said. "In the West Coast Conference, they take their sports seriously, but they take basketball very seriously. Basketball is No. 1 [for this league]. For us, we get the best of both worlds.

Community college enrollment at record level

Many students experience rejection as they try to get into their college of choice. As a result, some students are choosing instead to start their college career at a community college.

In Utah, students and community college faculty believe economic conditions and students feeling unprepared for a four-year university are key factors in the recent growth of community colleges.

Salt Lake Community College is the largest educational institution in the state, serving 62,000 students during the 2010-2011 school year, and is experiencing record enrollment this year.

Joy Tlou, director of public relations for SLCC, said the college is the largest it has ever been.

“In fall of 2006, our enrollment three weeks in was 25,129,” he said. “In fall of 2010 it was 33,983. That’s about a 26 percent increase in five years.”

Tlou said economic conditions over the last few years have played a large part in people choosing to attend SLCC before transferring to a university.

“With economic downturn, two-year schools get a lot of attention … but it’s not just those that aren’t able to afford it,” he said. “It causes everyone to practice better fiscal responsibility.”

Despite its growth, SLCC has been able to maintain a classroom average under 20 students.

Small class sizes may be one of the reasons students are finding community colleges a good steppingstone between high school and university.

John Densmore, a BYU student from Bessemer, Ala., studying athletic training, started his college career at Lawson State Community College in Alabama.

“For me, I didn’t want to jump straight into a university, I wanted to get into college and kind of ease my way in,” Densmore said. “Classes there are easier, I think, because they are trying to make it possible for students to go on to other universities. It’s kind of like an in between.
