Pie charts should be illegal

Martin Van Nostrand

In all fairness, this isn't a pie chart. It's a donut chart.

Lol. Earned more from sports camps than from tv/radio.

Wasn't our tv contract near 20 million? Man those camps

Notice we bring in 8% on sports camps but spend 9% on sports camps...

mikecito

Camps are a recruiting tool (evaluate talent) and its supplimentary income

There are different camps, some are for recruiting and some are for instruction/

just to clarify. these numbers show that the camps are profitable (and, as noted, they are great for recruiting).

But expenditures are likely less than revenues so they could still be

Yes, total expenses were $54M

Where did the $54M figure come from?

From BYU’s report to the Dept of Education. Link

Everyman

8% of expenses does not equal 8% of revenue. So 8% of revenue could actually be

Thats a lot of subsidy from Tuition Allocation. Not sure too many people know

isn't that to cover the athletic scholarships?

2 years ago total tv/radio income was ~5m

That would seem to indicate about 4.5 mil in TV/radio revenue, right?

Conference revenue is also tv/radio (from bball) mostly

This is different than a typical school's tuition subsidy.

I'd assume they just don't charge student athletes tuition

Bostonblue

9/19/17 9:36pm

It's more than that. They report 5.2M in tuition to the department of education

jrj84105

9/20/17 10:30am

are you trying to imply that there is something other than a "tuition subsidy"

Bostonblue

No, don't think anyone is lying, but it's unclear what "tuition allocation"

I stand corrected on many of my assumptions.

It would hurt in the ability to compete. Big boy ball versus small ball.

Intriguing to think how much leverage we have now with our TV contract renewal

So what's our ESPN contract really worth? $3m a year? really?!!

CougLuv1
