this whole convo is just so dumb. Schools are losing money in their athletic dep

artments and football is the only thing keeping them further out of the red.

Pay football players and go further into the red? Yeah, that makes sense.

then and this may be the biggest issue. With title IX do you really think they'd get away with paying football players but not womens lacrosse players? That's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Vouchers to the Bishop's Storehouse instead?

Also a true statement, but not necessarily with BYU. Our facilities are about as

Not when you learn where the funding comes from.

8/21/14 2:28pm

Primarily from private donors, which is similar to most schools.

Primarily or only? Can you list any athletic department facilities or

8/21/14 3:32pm

And there are a bunch of universities who do similar to BYU when they can.

Didn't King Hussien have to beg BYU to build the IPF?

BYU doesn't build anything until it's fully funded.

That is not a bad policy

So much so we shortchange when counting words even.

You're not missing anything other than CB's collective ability to use common

what you really meant was CB's collective inability to use common sense

Schultz is back

8/21/14 2:25pm

I got the same feeling. When we have 1/3rd the athletic budget of Tx, we can't.

jakesnake

8/21/14 2:23pm

you won't need a budget like UTs to increase stipends

fattycoug

8/21/14 2:28pm

We can't what? Afford stipends? Sure we can.

kccougar

8/21/14 2:32pm

because the Jonses will, and we will not keep up with them?

the Jones' will be limited by their own conferences. The stipends, IMO

The same reason why people think Bronco should be replaced with Andy Reid.

Currently, BYU is working to endow every athletic scholarship

8/21/14 2:28pm

who said BYU won't pay stipends?

I'm still baffled people don't understand that there is ALREADY a stipend

FINALLY, somebody who knows this... One of my brothers was offered

I think I heard Ben Criddle say on the radio last week that his stipend was $900

Sounds right. It depends if you choose to live in "paid" housing or if you find

great, but I dont' see how they wouldn't then be legally forced to pay 90 womens

Mayor of Cougartown

They will pay the women.

Just give them amnesty on tithing for four years after graduation.

Josef K

IMO. What he meant is BYU will do what it takes to be competitive. But they

Lance71

Pretty sure he said they WILL pay them. Maybe just not as much.
