If was only about the money, you might be right

Actually most WCC sports are better than MWC counterparts. And the WCC in bball has overtaken MWC most years.

Swap out byu for San Jose state and mountain west would be worlds better

Not really, the top 3 in the WCC are consistently good, but the rest

So it's more fun to watch home games against teams you average to beat by 12 instead of 15. Makes sense.

Total ESPN $$ + bowl money = $7-8m

Yes, let's just throw away more than 10% of our revenue. No biggie

WCC distributes ~500k to BYU/Gonzaga, not 2.5MM

"Conference/NCAA" constitutes 4% of a ~$60m BYU budget

jkccoug

9/20/17 9:44am

For example, each WCC school will get about $1m/year in NCAA tourney $

That's not true.. it's a lot of money over 6 years, but only ~3MM/yr for the con

The conference gets 7 units per team plus extra units based on how far they go.

jkccoug

9/20/17 10:53am

The reason the actual payout isn't the full $2.76m is because of WCC overhead

jkccoug

9/20/17 10:55am

You are really struggling with this math - Why are you multiplying 4.6MM by 6?

NarfUte

9/20/17 11:23am

The WCC paid BYU $488,473 in 2014. That's from the entire conf revenue including

Seriously can't imagine going on a Ute board and arguing about how much they get

4% of ~60m budget. Don't care where it comes from but I know that is the number

jkccoug

9/20/17 11:47am

TV/Radio was reportedly $5MM 2 years ago. $5MM/7%=total revenue/budget of $71.5MM.

mulletino

9/20/17 11:57am

Conference/NCAA was 4%. That's where the WCC portion is hiding.

Are ESPN and P5 SCHOOLS BYU PLAYS Reaping the FINANCIAL benefits at BYU Expense?

FootFAN

However the money actually breaks out, I don't know. But I do know that our revenue jumped by about $20million right
