It may be silly, but I was thinking the other day, if you were to create a BYU-Texas (which some on facebook have clamored for), where in Texas would you situate it?

A big city? In a college town? In a town sized like a college town, but without a college? In a very, very small town?

How would such a place be received in a non-big city? It would, after all, be a huge deal.

The Virginia experience is somewhat instructive. Initials fears have given way from what I understand.

Big City - San Antonio, Fort Worth, or Dallas
Medium Sized City - stumped. Suburb of Austin? Bryan?
Small City - how about Navasota? Under an hour from Houston airport. 30 min away from College Station.
