This is what's happened to the MWC while BYU has been an Independent

curious where you got these numbers

US Department of Education - from their Title IX compliance reports

Yes as I watched from a sparsely attended home game vs Wisconsin last year

If you want safety and no risk like 80K, then by all means advocate for going

No I wouldn't. G5 is a death knell in every way

So is Indy

Maybe maybe not. Not nearly as quickly as MWC is. All BYU has to do to make

Your premise is patently false. You have no idea what access BYU actually has

You don't fire a head coach for 1 poor season. He gets more opportunity

61,143 is "sparsely attended"?

The upper levels were patchy all over especially considering a top ranked

61,143 is the official number. I agree, having a capacity crowd would be better

Sparsely attended? Box score says 61k paid attendance, hardly sparse

Interesting that SDSU has been able to somewhat keep up in terms of revenue.

Also, how in the world did UNLV have $60M in revenue in both 2009 and 2010?

It's probably bigger than that. Per Criddle, BYUtv is now providing revenue

BYUMizzou

4/4/18 9:52am

Per the donors I know, they stop paying up so much if BYU goes to the MWC. The AD knows it.

Turnpike Lane

4/4/18 10:17am

Good point regarding donors. My opinion is that it's really hard to tie it to

BerkeleyCoug

4/4/18 11:34am

If the MWC is not as big a difference maker, then why is not even one MEMWC school even close to BYU in annual revenue.

Adrielle

It's a lot of conjecture, for both sides of argument.

Considering ESPN took the extension for 2019, I'm guessing you're wrong.

I'm saying ESPN's deal for BYU is like $4 million a year.

2010: $45.4MM; 2011: $53MM

2011 - $1.3M for one-and-done at Ole Miss and $1.2M for "neutral" site TCU game.

You're forgetting to add back in the lost MWC revenue in 2011. I have no idea

BYUMizzou

You're right. Seems like it was around $1.5M, but I don't exactly remember.

Ole Miss was $900k. Where are you pulling this $1.3m figure?
