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

If only the PAC-12 were such a league...

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

Gentleman Stan

4/8/15 3:55pm

They make quite a bit...

Tokolosh

4/8/15 4:00pm

It gets broken up among 12 schools. A sweet 16 is not a significant windfall,

The basketball distribution Utah currently gets is more than this contract...

Tokolosh

Ahem. What fantasy are you speaking of?

Gentleman Stan

4/8/15 4:46pm

Oops. I was iOSed. Should be fan base.

Tokolosh

4/8/15 6:46pm

then why do you need $14MM of taxpayer money?

HarlemCoug

4/8/15 7:07pm

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

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

Everymancoug

Well that settles that.

Virginia Ute

Interesting, they finished the season ranked 15th

Solomon Levi

Doesn't mean you'll keep him but I'm sure that will help

ManicBlue

Thats big money. Utah is definitely in with the big boys.

Blueto

4/8/15 3:37pm

That is a safe bet to make. Much more likely that K wants out than the

Some draft boards have Poeltl listed as a lottery pick

ManicBlue

4/8/15 3:42pm

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

BGRTHNUMEGO

4/8/15 3:45pm

Lowest I've seen of late is 14 .... some as high as 8

Pretty amazing for a kid from Austria. I can't think of even another

Just checked, hes the only one I can find

Ebolarama

IOW ... Bill was stoned ... again

Bills living the dream

Rumor has it he will be back for one more year like Bogut

Upanddown

I am almost always in favor of guys going to the NBA asap as almost always

Ebolarama

4/8/15 4:09pm

Agreed. Poeltl still seems very raw.

Virginia Ute

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.

Ebolarama

4/8/15 4:22pm

Excellent news.

Its the flagship state school. Of course there are subsidies.

I don't think taxpayers should pay for sports at the Yew - the Yew can get their

HarlemCoug

4/8/15 7:05pm

I think the comment is in regards to subsidies

BYU '80

4/8/15 7:08pm

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

HarlemCoug

4/8/15 7:10pm

Subsidies for state schools are not uncommon...

Tokolosh

4/8/15 8:34pm

The church no longer subsidizing the tuition at BYU - my guess is that this

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