But is the money everything? Would TH be willing to take that hit to make a NY6?

For one game?

No- NY6 is never a guarantee and whose to say if we were good enough that we wouldn’t get it? We don’t know but we do

Oh- yes money is everything. No money no program- we can’t float our programs off of tithing

Money is a means to an end, not an end in itself.

Junior Deputy

Without money you can’t get there. When G5 hits a economic bubble states can pull funding. BYU will remain free of that

BYU wouldn’t have a problem with this regardless, since it receives no state

If “higher end G5” is what BYU is right now. What about Indy is hurting BYU?

He outlines his premise in the podcast. He was convincing
