Very true, but the shifting landscape makes 5 years seem like an eternity.

Division Bell Intervention Needed

I hope I'm wrong, and truthfully I'm pretty sure things will go back to normal... but there's a chance that it won't - especially for BYU. That's why I questioned "always."

Tavernari isn’t holding back

I'm not going to hold back either if he wants to make this FB vs. Bball

When BB pulls their share or revenue like FB he can complain. Until then

FB expenses are also far greater than BB expenses

AZ Coug

8/4/20 5:01pm

And they pull in fb probably 5x the revenue

It’s not and it isn’t even close...

CoachSpeak

8/4/20 5:09pm

If the current attendance trends and W-L records continue, it will become close

AZ Coug

8/4/20 5:18pm

No it won’t. It will never be close.

CoachSpeak

8/4/20 5:20pm

I hope you're right for the sake of the program

AZ Coug

8/4/20 5:32pm

That may be but it doesn’t change the revenue disparity much.

CoachSpeak

8/4/20 5:55pm

I’ve seen the numbers before. From what I remember fball was 90% bball 10%

While that may be true and funny, football is and always will be king.

Hoops makes $$$ too.

Turnpike Lane

A fraction of what football makes though.

I remember reading a story that basketball turns more of a profit than FB

cougarblue

8/4/20 3:48pm

Impact of title IX is huge in terms of the cost of football.

Acorn

Not if football continues to be average and basketball continues to be awesome

KingDave

8/4/20 3:50pm

A fraction of the student athletes to support.

Most fans and few FB players know the difference between "makes money", "earns a profit", and "generates sales"

They need an update but it isn’t like you walk into them and think...

CoachSpeak

8/4/20 4:42pm

Very true...I enjoy both football and basketball, but I would trade a 0-30

RH84025

8/4/20 3:44pm

As an Arizona fan, I can guarantee this is not true.

RyneK

Always? Lots of change is in the air.

Division Bell

8/4/20 3:44pm

Basketball could win a national championship and still wouldn't come close to

westsidecoug

8/4/20 3:48pm

Assuming we still have FB in 5 years, yes.

Division Bell

8/4/20 3:52pm

LOL. Football isn't going anywhere.

8/4/20 3:53pm

See you at all 3 Liberty games this year!

Division Bell

8/4/20 3:57pm

The schedule this year being garbage and football disappearing in 5 years are

westsidecoug

I don't know what the world looks like in 5 years, but very, very different.

What do you even mean "go back to normal" and "there's a chance it won't"?

westsidecoug

The CFB landscape.

Division Bell

8/4/20 5:20pm

We want the CFB landscape to change. That is when the door will open again to

AOC said 12 years right?

BYU Grounds

Good catch. I should probably amend my estimate.

Division Bell

8/4/20 5:54pm

And yet it's been a few matches short of a dumpster fire for a few years now.

Not if they suck

Jimmertime

8/4/20 4:50pm

Yeah but Tav was talking success. Not money or attendance or whatever else.

Gerald-DeGroot

8/4/20 6:09pm

Nope. Minus a 20 year football golden age, BYU has always been a hoops school.

Twitter. Their tweets have been deleted as I understand it.
