Tourney shares are valuable...

A run to the Final Four could net $8.3mm over the next 6 years. If returning to the dance is a regular thing the revenues add up as the shares stack up. Being in the PAC 12 helps as we share in the success of all teams. But that is just one aspect of bball revenue. Utah will more than make up what they are paying out. I don't consider this an over payment.

Krystkowiak gets $2.4mm per year through 2022-23... not a bad extension.

Utah won't make up what they are paying out. Not directly.

They make quite a bit...

Basketball is not the only sport at Utah. The $14mm is a subsidy for the

And here I thought Utah State was the flagship State school in Utah.

A recent state audit shows that the BB program had a $2M profit

4/8/15 3:58pm

Well that settles that.

Interesting, they finished the season ranked 15th

Some draft boards have Poeltl listed as a lottery pick

Losing him, Wright, and Bachynski really changes the dynamic of that team.

Ebolarama

4/8/15 4:09pm

Agreed. Poeltl still seems very raw.

4/8/15 4:10pm

I watched a decent amount of him and was not impressed until the tourney.

Ebolarama

4/8/15 4:14pm

If a kid is going to be a lottery pick, it's crazy to stay in school IMO

ManicBlue

4/8/15 4:23pm

The #1 pick next year is already decided. It isn't going to be Poetl.

BGRTHNUMEGO

4/8/15 4:17pm

Not quite, but its certainly not going to be Poetl.

Correct, the $14MM of taxpayer money is specifically for the Yew's athletic dept

You are assuming this "subsidy" was paid through tax money.
