I know yewts like to debate how much money BYU gets from ESPN. I make no assertion regarding how much is from ESPN (or football). I reference simply total athletic revenue. And just actually checking the most recent EinA numbers for BYU shows total revenue over 54 million.

And, of course, the idea that BYU could just land all that money with a few open dates in a MWC is also idiocy. But than you went to Utah so I'm not surprised you would fall for the laughable idea that BYU could just schedule all those games in their few open dates each year in the MWC and make the same money.

Utah? USA Today for 2012 has their total revenue at 40 million, expenses at 43 million for a 3 million loss. And, of course, the revenue included 10 mil for direct and indirect state subsidy. E in A has Utah most recently making 51 mil in total revenue for the yr ending in June 2013. Yep, less than BYU even with some PAC money and a 10 million handout from the State to cover your sorry athletic program.

So, sport, note Imm not talking about "ESPN money" or football money. You debate with yourself how much comes from ESPN. But BYU had athletic revenue of over 54 million (an increase of 18 million from their last yr in the MWC). Pretty good for just getting the indy (and WCC) bus rolling.

By comparison, for the yr ending in June 2013, Boise made 33 million in total revenue in the MWC.
