How did brigham young found byu?

I don't know if you could really say that Brigham Young founded BYU. BYU originally began as an extension of the University of Utah, then called the University of Deseret. Brigham Young had purchased a plot of land in Provo to be used for that extension school. In 1876, the Provo school officially broke off from the University of Deseret to become "Brigham Young Acadamy", which was a K-12 school. In the 1890's the Acadamy began to teach some college-level courses. It wasn't until 1903 that Brigham Young Acadamy was split into Brigham Young High School and Brigham Young University. Brigham Young High School was closed in 1968.
