The BoT doesn't want to write $2M checks to multiple people

stoils

We don't need the checks from the Church. Just let us spend the money the football team and donors bring in

YIsForBrigham

9/10/19 10:45am

So are all donations to a general athletic fund? Booster money doesn't go

coug almighty

9/10/19 10:48am

BYU does not bring in P5 money. Our fans donate the equivalent of a good G5 school.

This could be changed, the cougar club is just scratching the surface of what

There are creative ways to get the money in the door without a "check" from the

So how do these wards view the church handing money to a state school?

I know how I view it.

Most schools pay coaches with booster money

Add in fancy practice facilities and locker rooms when my EQ is given a $100

While that's typical it's also up to the discretion of the Bishop to decide

I hate going to the activities. Money saved.

Doesn't the AD earn their own money but really isn't allowed to decide how to

mudpupper

9/10/19 11:08am

So their membership in the church is contingent on receiving a monetary benefit? More money already flows into those

Pimpin4Paradise

9/10/19 11:09am

I didn't say it's contingent

stoils

9/10/19 11:20am

There are two problems, money and talent. Might as well not try to fix one

VegasCoug

9/10/19 11:09am

I somewhat agree. The BOT doesn’t really want to advertise how much any church

coolblue

9/10/19 12:12pm

It might be a "salary" but I guarantee it isn't very much. Enough to live on,..

BleedCougarBlue2

9/10/19 1:20pm

I disagree. Multiple coaches are not paid $2M because

kapcreations

9/10/19 12:18pm

On a more serious note, the real reason is budgetary

kapcreations

9/10/19 12:20pm

Further, football furthers the mission of BYU

kapcreations

9/10/19 12:24pm

Non-Issue. Different Coffers. The Football team brings in plenty of revenue

OGSuperfan

Just wondering as I don’t know who the guys from Stanford, USC and Utah you

Bullrider

9/10/19 12:26pm

Maybe, maybe not. They should be though. Every member is HC eligible

stoils

9/10/19 12:57pm

What about spending billions on malls in downtown SLC. People in other regions

Zak

9/10/19 12:29pm

Exactly.

Bad Plus Fan

9/10/19 12:46pm

that's a for-profit business, resulting in even more revenue that can be used

Bostonblue

9/10/19 1:16pm

Right. But point is that the people in regions mentioned in the main post arent

Zak

9/10/19 2:55pm

They should. That mall helps fund more church buildings and missionaries.

Bostonblue

9/10/19 4:27pm

You really think wards in Bogota know or care about the coaches salary?

cougarnw

9/10/19 12:36pm

Not today, but with the availability of information and future development, yes

stoils

9/10/19 12:57pm

Then why did they build a 5 billion dollar mall?

Bad Plus Fan

9/10/19 12:45pm

do none of ya'll understand economics?

Bostonblue

9/10/19 1:17pm

What do economics have to do with appropriation of money? ROI is one thing

coug almighty

9/10/19 1:26pm

it's apples and oranges. One is a for-profit business. The other is a non-profit

Bostonblue

9/10/19 1:40pm

You didn't answer my question. Anyways, if you think anything the church

coug almighty

9/10/19 2:19pm

I answered your question. ROI is the primary purpose for-profit business.

Bostonblue

9/10/19 2:25pm

Holdings vs actively managing... The list goes on and on, Des News, KSL, Deseret

coug almighty

9/10/19 2:34pm

I'm not trying to argue over whether there are other factors that may impact

Bostonblue

9/10/19 2:48pm

Completly agree. I just don't think the Mall or the football team is analyzed

coug almighty

9/10/19 2:57pm

I think church leadership is absolutely looking at ROI. And they are dang good

Bostonblue

9/10/19 4:29pm

The leaders of the Church decided to build the downtown SLC mall to....

I think the bigger issue is there aren't LDS coaches worth paying more

Just not true. Reed would come from the NFL

Doubt it

9/10/19 9:09pm

They're not. And they don't have to because the AD can write its own checks.

Wow. Just dreaming what it would be like if BYU could literally get "all" the..

BleedCougarBlue2

9/10/19 1:28pm

Not sure if serious but yes. Easily top 25 every year if every top LDS player came to BYU

YIsForBrigham

9/10/19 2:24pm

They have the perception problem whehter they spend $10 million in the aggregate

Pasadena

9/10/19 2:06pm

Yeah it's all relative. With that argument you might be able to disband BYU

coug almighty

9/10/19 2:23pm

The BYU football team always makes more than they spend.

oldrugger

9/10/19 2:39pm

Again, a shopping mall comes to mind. BYU football is an investment.

City Creek was an investment in the real estate around Temple Square and

You can thank Rocky Anderson for that. Because of him the church bought a bunch

Coug Dude

9/10/19 4:57pm

It’s clearly not tired. Also, church has millions in grazing land acreage.

Dr MoBYU

9/10/19 7:54pm

What do church real estate holding outside of downtown SLC have to with CC mall?

Emmett Fitz-Hume

9/11/19 4:23pm

Church has all sorts of holdings is the point. BYU is a great place to invest.

Dr MoBYU
