That all makes sense to me.

It would seem weird to me if they weren't making money on it all.

Thanks!

Of course. Jamaal, Curtis Brown, Mike Reed, Jordan Leslie, etc.

Based on Equity in Athletics -- BYU 2013 revenue = $60.1M, expenses = $53.5M

4/24/15 11:56am

That's total athletics department, not football only

4/24/15 11:57am

I would imagine

Lets take 5 million of that and hire top level assistants for football

Need to save some for a rainy day though. It wouldn't take many losing

Spend the money on great coaching and reduce the likelihood of losing seasons

You may be right, but we're talking about a financially conservative school and

Is that why they pumped and continue to pump millions into BYUTV?

concolor couguar

4/24/15 2:27pm

Do you really view BYU-TV as some kind of big financial risk?

Bostonblue

4/24/15 3:02pm

Do you think BYUTV is a major expense for BYU?

concolor couguar

4/24/15 3:06pm

You didn't answer my question. In any event, I'll answer yours.

Bostonblue

4/24/15 3:09pm

To make more money they need to spend it on coaching.

Arguing with you is like a dog chasing its tail. Getting no where.

Not sure about infrastructure, but I read in the NYT that Granite Flats costs

its only not cheap depending on what the revenue is per show.

Bostonblue

So we have $6.6 million or so from which to pay the athletes

BYU's athletic department operates in the black.

gwalker

So it is athletic, huh?

boogers

As opposed to deceptively fast.

or sneaky

Is there a fund or line of credit BYU athletics use when they do go red?

4/24/15 12:11pm

I'm not sure. I believe the fund is the Athletic Department's

gwalker

4/24/15 12:30pm

No red, they go "white"...

Heinz57

The Church won't let them run in the red

4/24/15 11:57am

That all makes sense to me.

Better dead than red, actually.

4/24/15 12:45pm

BYU athletics makes more money that they spend. Very unusual, even for P5

Wonder what the surplus funds are used for?

bretonnia

4/24/15 12:29pm

I imagine a lot of it is banked to guard against lean years or unexpected costs.

CalGTR

4/24/15 12:35pm

If that's the case, I'd be VERY interested to see BYU ADs bank statement.

bretonnia

4/24/15 12:39pm

More likely the bulk of it is earmarked for for future planned costs...

Superman21

4/24/15 12:47pm

The surplus is set aside for 1) rainy day, 2) anticipation of paying stipends

One thing that is almost never considered

4/24/15 2:10pm

BYU Athletics has no debt, right?

BYU sport funds go to sports

Heinz57

4/24/15 3:21pm

They operate in the double minority: Non-P5/in the black
