mainly, that they intend to use BYU sports to bring attention to the school and the church. BYU can't be anywhere close to the top 10% in revenue and to have a payout in the top 10% of programs? That is impressive and says to me one thing: BYU sports aren't going anywhere anytime soon. BYU/Holmoe/Worthen/Board of Directors/the Church are making a commitment to BYU sports even when the revenue margins will be much different going forward.

Also - this is the first major move under Worthen I think and his much discussed love of BYU sports is proving itself.
