good as we could expect. If BYU was cheap about their athletics, we would have a 20k seat football stadium run down, no indoor practice facility, a very outdated smith fieldhouse for basketball, or a very run down marriott center. I don't think BYU is exactly "cheap" as others might think.

Not when you learn where the funding comes from.

8/21/14 2:28pm

Primarily from private donors, which is similar to most schools.

Primarily or only? Can you list any athletic department facilities or

And there are a bunch of universities who do similar to BYU when they can.

Didn't King Hussien have to beg BYU to build the IPF?

BYU doesn't build anything until it's fully funded.

That is not a bad policy

You're not missing anything other than CB's collective ability to use common

what you really meant was CB's collective inability to use common sense

I got the same feeling. When we have 1/3rd the athletic budget of Tx, we can't.

jakesnake

8/21/14 2:23pm

you won't need a budget like UTs to increase stipends

fattycoug

8/21/14 2:28pm

We can't what? Afford stipends? Sure we can.

kccougar

8/21/14 2:32pm

because the Jonses will, and we will not keep up with them?

the Jones' will be limited by their own conferences. The stipends, IMO

The same reason why people think Bronco should be replaced with Andy Reid.

Currently, BYU is working to endow every athletic scholarship

8/21/14 2:28pm

who said BYU won't pay stipends?

I'm still baffled people don't understand that there is ALREADY a stipend

I think I heard Ben Criddle say on the radio last week that his stipend was $900
