TV money isn't nearly as big a chunk of the overall budget as I thought. Maybe joining a G5 conference wouldn't hurt the overall budget so much.

Pie charts should be illegal

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...

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

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

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

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

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