Very stable genius
Sure it does. We make coaching a local ward calling. Transportation is the EQ. Food is RS. Uniform can be done by
Deseret Clothing, or whoever makes the garments.

Cougar Club seems like a futile effort. The church doesn't put BYU sports as a priority. If they can give $4,000,000

You think athletics is on welfare? How much revenue do expect?
Tokolosh
1/10/18 11:41am
Not revenue. If BYU wants to be a P5, the church needs to subsidize it so the funding is equal to a successful P5.
Ragnar Danneskjold

That will never happen. Thus your statement

Church subsidies would be counted in revenue. What total amount of revenue
Tokolosh
1/10/18 11:45am
To compensate for HC, probably Alabama levels.

Why does "the church" have the responibility of funding it. If the fans want it

It's a church-owned school. Just like the state funds the state universities.

The Church is getting everything they want out of it for their money.

I could make BYU football mediocre for 1/2 the money.
Ragnar Danneskjold
1/10/18 2:18pm
For 1/2 the money BYU sports doesn't exist. So you couldn't do that.

Again for the 500th time that may not go to athletics

Do any states subsidize athletics?
Colorado

There are only about a dozen FBS schools that do not subsidize athletics

Waste of taxpayer dollars

Utah athletics gets welfare from the state, right?

Yes

The state doesn't have any money

No. You are right

If you gave BYU $100M for athletics, what difference would it ultimately make?
Indy Coug
1/10/18 11:44am
Like I said, it needs to be a priority. The best coaches they can get. Salaries that match successful P5 salaries.
Ragnar Danneskjold
1/10/18 11:46am
You make it seem like it's a money issue. It isn't. It's an institutional issue
Indy Coug
1/10/18 11:47am
Yes, it is an institutional issue. Pay $$$ for the best coaches, facilities, socks, and the best LDS players will come.
Ragnar Danneskjold

imagine this... imagine that there are LDS athletes who DON'T want to go to BYU
Dissenter

True. But I'm sure you get my point.
Ragnar Danneskjold
1/10/18 12:15pm
Nope, it won't happen
Indy Coug
1/10/18 12:07pm
I don't want to be independent. Treat BYU like a P5 (coaching, funding, expectations), and BYU might actually perform
Ragnar Danneskjold
1/10/18 12:18pm
I tend to agree. More money would make only a marginal difference.

Does paying Sitake more make him more successful?
Tokolosh
1/10/18 11:48am
You throw a $10M salary at ANY LDS coach and they'd most likely do it.
Ragnar Danneskjold
1/10/18 11:50am
What programs besides a blue-blood or two is paying $10mm
Tokolosh
1/10/18 11:51am
I'm making up numbers. But let's say Reid. If BYU wanted Reid, matched his current salary + 10%, I bet he'd come.

A better ventilation system in the players lounge so the fire department doesn't

With the new stipend rules I suspect all of the atheltic scholarship trusts need to be funded again.

That’s why I suggested that, if I had the money I would
jkccoug
1/10/18 3:04pm
This is a good point. You'd have to give them $100m every year for ten years to expect any real change.

If I had $100 Million to give BYU, I'd probably see if I could buy off the Big12

Agreed. It's a very different thing at byu. Sports

Given the abysmal participation in the CC, maybe the 'Church' doesn't think that
a priori
1/10/18 11:48am
The church should be selling the product to us. Not the other way around.

Take 10% of the income of all non-SEC fans and you'll see some drop in

Read at your own peril. Don't blame me if you go inactive. This is John Dehlin territory.

Maybe the church cares more about salvation and society than sports.

Let's just save some $, join the Pioneer Conference with the University of San Diego. We can be mediocre there.
