Very impressive. I live in American Fork. That is why this looks familiar.

I believe only West Virginia sells alcohol at the stadium. Most FBS teams don't.

^^^^ So true. My husband and I went to a WVU game in 2012, the amount of alcohol

Texas started selling beer and wine again last season, IIRC.

foofcoug

2/11/16 9:15am

That is correct, and they made an extra $2 million in alcohol sales last season

Just think how much more caffiene would add to the BYU coffers!

Romex

2/11/16 12:42pm

I would vote in favor of the caffiene.

UCONN sells alcohol at their stadium.

VACOUGFAN

Alcohol sales in stadiums is not a factor, many don't and Boren has spoken out

thats why most people don't like NFL games.

Sunday play could be a logistics nightmare.

Some headache but blown out of proportion.

I guess that depends on which side of the aisle the person that's looking at the situation is.

I think it is a bigger issue than it may appear.

We have seen and heard over and over again that their #1 metric is $$$

I totally get this

Football only has been shot down by people around the Big 12 because

Just weird situations in general when a school is only a part member

Football, Men's & Women's Basketball, Rugby, Men's Volleyball, Wrestling, etc.

150 drunk UCONN fans visit vs 8,000 non-drinking BYU fans. Which makes more

zonacougar

2/11/16 10:44am

I believe the consulting firms are just looking at economics, no?

Bostonblue

2/11/16 10:51am

But it can be argued that BYU does open up some West Coast recruiting.

BYU leads in most school and athletic-program metrics

cougarmeister

2/11/16 2:05pm

Byu would be biggest bball arena and distance matters

Hopefully it includes a projection of LDS population growth in the US

Just because they are LDS it does not make them a fan of BYU.

Upanddown

2/11/16 10:37am

thats great, however, my ward activities in SoCal have often included BYU games.

Station42

2/11/16 10:56am

I didn't say that it does

svenot

2/11/16 11:04am

True. But all active LDS members financially contribute to BYU, so they are more

Bostonblue

2/11/16 3:15pm

You are spot on. Advanced metrics and consultant analysis are BYU's best friend.

RillDill

2/11/16 10:45am

Is this just another way of saying that it helps remove religious bias?

BluebloodOR

2/11/16 12:03pm

Don't know who they hired, but BYU alumni permeate the consulting industry.

Coach's Dad

2/11/16 12:25pm

Unless the brass of the firm also hate LDS
