The major coastal markets only care about pro sports. Just an an example, Stanford has become a national program with 3 Pac-12 titles and 5 NY6 Bowl appearances this decade. As a result, they are now the 7th biggest sports draw in their own market.

PAC 12 revenue for 2017-18: $497M.

Everyman

5/20/19 4:12pm

Ouch.

byubyu

5/20/19 4:13pm

Did we make more?

BIG XII Coug

5/20/19 4:32pm

2017 Total Revenue: BYU $79.6 M / Utah $82.4 M

Super impressive haul for BYU considering we get no conference money

TempeCoug

5/20/19 7:32pm

I had no idea it was this close

CaliWG

5/21/19 7:50am

It’s actually a $12M difference.

Everyman

5/21/19 9:13am

But we don't know what that accrued revenue would be for BYU, right?

rocker

5/21/19 10:04am

Since BYU's fiscal year is the calendar year,

Everyman

5/21/19 10:12am

Maybe. But for comparison, I prefer using the same accounting system/formula by

rocker

5/21/19 10:20am

Why the massive jump for BYU last year?

displacedute

5/21/19 10:49am

Donations? Our most prominent boosters are becoming very, very rich

YIsForBrigham

5/21/19 12:04pm

That was the last year though, right? Not 2017?

displacedute

5/21/19 12:12pm

Josh James has been getting richer for a while. And josh and Ryan aren’t the only ones taking it in

YIsForBrigham

5/21/19 12:16pm

Huge difference in the numbers. Y generates it's own income. U does not

Coug Dude

5/21/19 7:47pm

Hard to say ouch when Utah is making ~$20 million more per year than BYU

DapperDan

5/20/19 4:33pm

$79m to $67m = $12m but yes it is a lot more.

jkccoug

5/20/19 4:57pm

$38,464,156 vs $66,231,488 for men's teams according to the US dept of education

DapperDan

5/20/19 5:59pm

That's a misleading number because all of Utah's conference money gets

BYUMizzou

$2.8 million more - not $20 million

The PAC 12 shouldn't be lagging badly behind the Big XII.

Some might say, Pac 12?

Geography, demographics, administrative support, and now resources all going

Now do BYU

$79.6 Million. Now do Utah State.

$79.60

Special thanks to Aggie Ice cream concessions

Good think BYUtv generates at least $60M for BYU every year baby!

(Private)

5/20/19 4:43pm

well, it used to, but they had to fork out for the new Studio C salaries.

Cougarclaw

5/20/19 4:55pm

Literally, fork out!

5/20/19 5:47pm

If the Pac-12 invited BYU we'd have to listen, but the trend is not good

cougarnw

5/20/19 4:46pm

Not just listen but jump immediately.

The Dude Abides

5/20/19 4:48pm

If the Pac12 calls Holmoe with an invite, the only word he says better be yes.

LaVellIfIKnow

5/20/19 4:56pm

Except it is not for him to say...

BYUFam1

5/20/19 5:15pm

Nor would it be for any other AD at any other school

ColoSpgs

5/20/19 5:18pm

He should still say Yes...then ask for forgiveness afterward.

BYUHgrad

5/20/19 5:27pm

What about "I'm listening?"

Sandy Lyle

5/20/19 6:35pm

You’d have to take it just to be part of the group

puntersarepeople

5/20/19 4:57pm

LOL....BYU shouldn't listen. Just sign on the dotted line ASAP.

mudpupper

5/20/19 5:06pm

Yes listen for the invite and then say yes.

Cougarclaw

Byu would love that kind of money.

USC could probably do better elsewhere.

Jeffacka

5/20/19 5:31pm

For now... But if they keep losing, their brand will weaken

reddead

5/20/19 6:06pm

It’s true that they could use some wins

puntersarepeople

5/20/19 6:20pm

Keep losing? They had one down year. You underestimate their brand.

Jeffacka

5/20/19 6:29pm

They've been down since Pete Carroll left

reddead

5/20/19 9:34pm

Yet they are still the flagship school of the conference.

Jeffacka

5/20/19 10:51pm

When Chip Kelly was at Oregon the PAC was considered strong

reddead

5/20/19 10:55pm

The PAC 12 hasn't been considered strong in many years.

Jeffacka

5/21/19 6:57am

Seems like you are confusing brand value with winning or playing to expectations

Pasadena

5/21/19 12:02am

USC brand isn't going to weaken. They don't need to win to be valuable.

Pasadena

5/20/19 7:55pm

Especially after one down year.

Jeffacka

5/20/19 8:15pm

It's been a lot more than one down year

reddead

5/20/19 9:35pm

I'm sure people used to say that about UCLA, Nebraska, and the Dallas Cowboys

reddead

5/20/19 9:35pm

One of those three is not like the others. The value of the Cowboys and the

This is just comedy gold. Utah fan saying that the best thing for USC

rocker

5/20/19 8:50pm

I'm not a Ute fan, but the PAC is best for USC (and the Big XII is best for UT)

reddead

5/20/19 9:42pm

The point here is revenue.

Jeffacka

5/20/19 10:53pm

You're definitely right on that point. Even when down, they're the cash cow

reddead

5/20/19 10:57pm

Notre Dame does worse.

displacedute

5/20/19 9:28pm

Notre Dame is not in a conference for football.

Jeffacka

5/20/19 10:54pm

Yes, that's my point.

displacedute

5/20/19 11:07pm

And my point is that USC might be better served in a different conference.

Jeffacka

5/21/19 6:59am

Maybe. Which one? The big 12? Are you taking all the CA schools with you?

displacedute

5/21/19 10:51am

The only satisfaction I get from this stems from Larry Scott

messi

5/20/19 5:38pm

That's $30M+ more than what BYU got from its conference

mudpupper

5/20/19 7:07pm

BYU IS it's own conference, Baby!

BYU makes more $$$ as Indy than ever before and next TV deal = better
