Ok, allow me to correct then
1) At 50% revenue for the past year, Utah made roughly $8 million from the PAC from the ESPN/FOX deal. They made $2.48 million from Bowl Revenue. They are projected to make roughly $7-$12 million per year in revenue from the PAC-12 network. When they reach full 100% share in two years, they will make $16 million from the TV deal. Add in the other revenue and it is close to $30 million. The remainder will be made from ticket sales and merchandise.

2) Upgrading and improving other sports will happen. Thus far they have announced and started construction on the $30 million football facility and they have increased the salaries of all the coaches. I am glad they are spending money on other programs. This is one of the benefits of making all that money. Not sure what flaw I put out there on this one.

3) Ticket sales have not only remained at capacity, but ticket prices have gone up substantially. In 2011, ticket prices went up 20% and Crimson Club members were asked for additional $50-100 per game. The Utes were estimated to make $1.4 million per game in ticket sales this year. The trend is up. Even if attendance declines slightly, the increase in price will offset this. In the last 10 years, Utah has never had less than 41,000 fans per game on average. They have averaged over 44,000 fans during that timeframe, which equates to average attendance of 98% capacity over the last 10 years. The days of an empty Rice Eccles are a distant memory. If they struggle on the field, there could be empty seats. However, the revenue lost compared to the days of the MWC will be nonexistent.
