The swing in some Christian university precincts seems to indicate so...

I don't know if McMullin was on the ballot in all the areas you're looking at, but it could be McMullin voters from 2016 switching over to Biden this year without that sort of candidate on the ballot. That would certainly explain part of Lynchburg's huge swing.

Lynchburg flip among other things suggests he might have.

McMullin was on the ballot in Minnesota and he did well in the precinct that includes Bethel University. But Trump's numbers also crashed. He went from 42% to 31%.

Liberty was doing distance learning and liberty university is infamously bad even within the university of evangelical universities.

The Lynchburg flip was actually about decreased turnout on Liberty's campus.  I think I saw that Trump was still in the upper 80s on what was left of Liberty's campus.

Plus, there's my general note that campus precincts aren't great snapshots to the views of a broad set of students.  In my experience, few undergrads actually vote on campus, and the votes tend to get swallowed by professors/grad students/academic types.  And, I could see a bit of a decline with those sorts of evangelicals (think David French).

But, I will say that I go to a huge young adults ministry of about 200 evangelicals in our 20s, and Trump had virtually unanimous support there, at least among the people who publicly discuss politics.  If anyone there voted for Biden, they kept very quiet about it.  Although, the Trump support is mostly not of the QAnon variety and pretty much everyone recognizes that Christ is King and Sovereign over all of this.  I also go to another smaller ministry of about 15 evangelicals in our 20s at another church.  In that one, the Trump support was probably more like 70-80%, with several not satisfied with either.

Of course, many college universities including Trinity and other Missionary school went remotely. So, I would suspect that he suffered with these youngsters too.

Future schooling isn't in the classroom and paying 200K to Ivy League Schools. It's remotely and that's good, if you don't get a job paying enough when you get out of schooling

Most schools didn't care about getting you a job they cared about their athletes

I doubt it. Young Christians in general probably swung to Democrats but fundamentalist Christians aren't going to stop voting straight-ticket Republican any time soon, if ever.

evangelical != fundamentalist. A common misconception. Bethel is definitely an evangelical school and has a conservative bent, but it's also definitely not a fundamentalist school like Bob Jones University or whatever. I actually have a friend who teaches Biology there and she's a liberal.
