I don't think I would put BYU Football in the same category as any of those

BYU Athletics is a high risk high reward investment. gotta have a little of that

Check: high risk, low financial reward...

No way was "Citycreek is 5th" the motto for building that place.

Zach Morris

AND they probably didn't rely on JUST LDS advisors to develop it...

First of all, three of those were paid from the "for profit" arm of the Church

Solomon Levi

This is the common argument. But where is the common denominator for all of the

Zach Morris

10/31/14 12:32pm

False. Many of the Church's assets came from donations other than Tithing.

All originated as chariable contributions, though. Whether those contributions

BearsandBulls

Not true.

BYU-Ite

10/31/14 1:56pm

yes, but one of the reasons BYU has athletics is to be a missionary tool

Ulysses14

I'm just not buying the "BYU football is a missionary tool" line.

BearsandBulls

10/31/14 2:35pm

do you have numbers to back that up, I'm interested to see how it stacks up

kotacoug

10/31/14 3:08pm

No idea. But at least it's a talking point w/ non-members here in TX. I don't

All donations to the church are not "tithing". There absolutely are donations

same difference, tithing/donations.... the point is that money was given

kotacoug

10/31/14 12:58pm

If it's the "same difference" why is tithing not federally-taxed and City Creek,

ByuMba90

10/31/14 1:13pm

Is a 'donation' on the donation slip taxed differently than 'tithing'

kotacoug

10/31/14 1:42pm

Actually, all donations on the donation slip are not tax deductible

BYU-Ite

10/31/14 2:02pm

Which are not tax deductible? Which funds does the church have to pay taxes on

kotacoug

10/31/14 2:22pm

If you use the "Other" line on the donation slip

BYU-Ite

10/31/14 2:46pm

well my point still stands, BYUMBA90 doesn't know what he is talking about.

I don't attach strings to my donations. Every last penny I donate whether

kotacoug

10/31/14 2:57pm

We are talking about the same thing

BYU-Ite

10/31/14 3:01pm

I think we've beat this thing to death

kotacoug

10/31/14 3:10pm

The same way Texas, ND, Ohio St, etc. recoups its investment

Absolutely.
