What TV? - the PAC 12 Network. BYU Football has way more "national" TV exposure

See below. You get an extension for missions. If that didn't exist then BYU

The players who go on missions get extra time. Missions don't impact APR rates.

Not Utah though.

displacedute

Because the coaching staff is paying "tutors." Directly. Duh. Probably also

Crazy Joe Davola

There isn't a significant financial difference between the 2. Utah has a ton of overhead that BYU does not.

confused by this, can expand on the overhead they have that we don't?

ColumbusCoug

BYU has zero debt service, for one.

ColumbusCoug

7/18/18 10:55pm

Right. Long term guaranteed contracts are part of that. Krystco is wayyyyyy overpaid.

mulletino

7/18/18 11:10pm

According to the state audit it’s $4.65M/yr.

Everyman

7/19/18 7:05am

So just between that and excess paid to KWhitt and Krystco, they spend $7-9MM per year.

mulletino

7/19/18 9:38am

That's what I'm getting at. People keep saying Utah has more resources.

GOR

7/18/18 10:53pm

P5 is a big advantage right now. BYU has zero money problems.

mulletino

7/18/18 11:22pm

If BYU has zero money problems, why won't it hire experienced coaches?
