Members of the Brigham Young-Hawaii administration are discussing whether or not the university will continue to offer intercollegiate athletics in the future. BYU-Hawaii is operated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and currently has approximately 2,500 students on their Laie campus on the North Shore of Oahu. The school features 11 different sports teams and have been quite successful over the years. However, church officials note that BYU-Idaho, another school that is operated by the Latter-day Saints, had eliminated their intercollegiate athletic program and focused solely on academics. Since making that decision, BYU-Idaho had achieved tremendous growth in enrollment.
