Utah football to make $40 million in revenue within 2 years?

Medute

I wonder if it is sustainable

kccougar

Already in 60 million homes - very sustainable

Medute

from what I understand it may be "available" to that many but not actually in

Yeah, I am not sure about that

Too bad all that money couldn't buy them a bowl game.

no one can argue that Utes are benefit greatly from the PAC12 gravy train

Still can't believe how lucky you guys are. Seriously. The PAC has a chance to

Iman23

Everyone knows it. Which is precisely why you see so much "Fully Invited" PAC12

kccougar

That is pretty funny, haven't seen those up here.

MatthiasG

I think there were 3 reasonable selections for PAC expansion

Medute

1/9/13 7:03am

Just surprises me b/c Larry Scott was supposed to be this innovative rain maker

Iman23

1/9/13 7:12am

You have to be careful with that growth

Medute

1/9/13 7:16am

Fit in academically. What a crock.

kccougar

1/9/13 7:14am

BYU is very different even than other religious schools

fleaman

1/9/13 7:20am

Religious requirements are not the same as academics.

kccougar

1/9/13 7:23am

The lack of academic freedom is academic, and the way BYU is run

If you oppose Church policy, you can be fired

fleaman

1/9/13 9:45am

Try to see clearly through your hatred

Medute

1/9/13 7:25am

That's the funny thing. People talk about fitting in the PAC12

kccougar

1/9/13 7:28am

What conference doesn't have bottom feeder schools academically speaking.

MatthiasG

1/9/13 5:21pm

They should also take advantage of USC's continuous meltdown and have a good

Downtown

1/9/13 7:05am

Byu should be in a big conference, no question

jdart

1/9/13 7:06am

Tell the truth, you have a Pac12 sticker on your car, don't you?

kccougar

1/9/13 7:16am

Yes, along with an Under Armour sticker and 12 Utah logos

jdart

1/9/13 7:17am

I'll give you a slight advantage in academics, with the med school, and research

Iman23

1/9/13 7:19am

I see as much research coming out of BYU as I do Utah, med school excepted.

kccougar

1/9/13 7:22am

Most educational conversations are about graduate schools

jdart

1/9/13 7:27am

Convince me that science grad programs at the U put out more research.

kccougar

1/9/13 7:29am

Per Pac12, a researcher that prays is not really a researcher.

Hoosier Coug

1/9/13 7:31am

BYU's research budget: $29.5 million Utah's: $370 million+

fleaman

1/9/13 7:42am

LOL.

kccougar

What are the P&T standards at each school?

Tenure is "continuing status" @ BYU. At Utah it's like other public research

Lynk

If it is the same why not call it tenure?

fleaman

1/9/13 8:51am

It is the same

Lynk

Process the same but reasons very different

fleaman

1/9/13 9:30am

Define

Lynk

1/9/13 9:52am

For math & physics, I'm sure BYU has academic freedom

fleaman

1/9/13 9:59am

Define

Lynk

1/9/13 10:15am

Research at BYU cannot lead to the conclusion that the LDS Church is not true

fleaman

1/9/13 10:33am

Disagree

Lynk

1/9/13 4:48pm

Those figures are from 2009. Utah's research budget is now north of $430 million

Corsica

It's relatively easy to get into many of Utah's grad programs as well.

Bro

1/9/13 7:31am

ALL of Utah's National Academy of Sciences members are at Utah

fleaman

Lincoln hated Mormons!

BlueFrog

1/9/13 7:33am

The enrollment advantage is more a reflection of religion and cost than quality

Medute

1/9/13 7:41am

Not sure I followed your logic.

CougarEyes

That's not what I was debating

Medute

Academic Programs

Lynk

You won't hear me cut on BYU's academics anywhere

jdart

Do you think it has to do specifically with Mormonism or just religion

Medute

1/9/13 7:56am

Right. When given the choice, always go with the Yes man.

kccougar

1/9/13 7:58am

Again, researchers and students who pray really aren't academic at all.

Hoosier Coug

Would the Pac take

They already give ND

MHOP

Notre Dame is less like BYU than you think

Medute

And at least now we're coming round to the real issues

kccougar

Two words - Prop 8

I certainly disagree with several things you posted

Exactly what I thought when I read the post.

I agree the series has been close the last 10 years

The hard part is that Utah's now competing with teams that make twice that

Very true...Texas $150 million revenue last I saw

It is crazy the difference between conferences. It's still tough for Utah to

Bro

1/9/13 7:14am

Utah is going to have to find their niche

Medute

1/9/13 7:28am

You can't expect anything better than the AZ schools

TXSmith

1/9/13 7:43am

Their niche could be in basketball...

Y Mountain

1/9/13 10:15am

You make great points

Medute

1/9/13 10:56am

Why does any fan care about revenue for the school?

Swiadomy

1/9/13 7:36am

Athletic revenue matters because it means new facilities

jdart

1/9/13 7:41am

Look at what has happened since the announcement

Medute

1/9/13 7:48am

So they hired BJ as OC bc they had more money?

TN_Coug

1/9/13 7:51am

Money to burn, apparently.

kccougar

1/9/13 7:56am

Weird hire if you ask me

Medute

1/9/13 8:02am

I hope he keeps seeing this "something" there with him and other hires.

bald man

Well, those higher coaching salaries have a great early return.

Oh, and Rocketman... do you have a response to the question posed by Tokolosh?

HSprauge

Help with it? How about all of it.

Rocketman

1/9/13 9:12pm

Still waiting for an answer to the Tokolosh question... hmmmm?

HSprauge

Exploration committee = state money? Interesting deduction.

HSprauge

1/9/13 10:49pm

The SLOC issues weren't realted to sketchy accounting. It was bribes and gifts.

Tokolosh

1/10/13 12:00pm

If they are planning on using it for an Olympic bid

Medute

1/9/13 8:25am

I don't think any state money should be used on olympics.

A couple of flaws in your story

Ok, allow me to correct then

I'm not suggesting

ManicBlue

Utah has massive facility needs though for the PAC. $$ goes there first
