Despite the rapid growth of the St. George and Cedar City metro areas their combined population is only about 240K. That’s arguably enough to support one FBS program but certainly not two.

Since CCU was brought up for comparison, the Myrtle Beach metro area population is around 560K.

Not only is southwestern Utah very low in population -- it has only one-tenth as many people as the Las Vegas metro area that is about 2.5 hours away -- a large number of the newer residents are retirees who moved there both because of the weather and because it's much cheaper to live there than LA or Chicago or wherever they used to live.
