In 2010, prior to Jimmermania, the basketball team
broke even, and reported a slight profit (less than 100k profit). That was with almost no media revenue, and an average attendance of 14,029 (17th in the nation). Attendance has gone up significantly since then.

With the WCC, BYU actually has TV revenue, reported by sources at Gonzaga to be slightly over 1 million (which makes sense, since the WCC has the 7th largest ESPN deal, and the 8th largest (the A-10) said that their deal was for 1.1 million per team annually).

Factoring the increase from an average attendance of 14,029 in 2010, up to 18,714 in 2011 (6th in the nation), and 15,424 in 2012 (12th in the nation), BYU is seeing a significant increase in gate revenue as well.

Throw the sale of WCC 3rd tier basketball media rights in as well this off-season (it won't be worth a whole lot, but probably at least a couple hundred thousand per school), and BYU is likely seeing an overall increase of upwards of 1.5 million in revenue in basketball.

When you look at our top 10 attendance in Women's Soccer, Women's Volleyball, and Men's Volleyball, the costs to run those programs are significantly offset by attendance and food sales.

Overall, the financial health of the athletic program is extremely high.
