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

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?

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

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.

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

BYU's athletic department operates in the black.

So it is athletic, huh?

boogers

As opposed to deceptively fast.

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.

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

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