overpaid coaches and wasting money in the athletic department, the extra went to the school.

As a tax payer, it is disgusting to me how the athletic budget jumped from the MWC days to now. That is completely wasteful of the athletic department.

IMO, this is important stuff for CFB.

Only about 30-35 teams make a profit each year. BYU is one of them.

Not last year

Most institutions have no reason to show a profit, though.

This isn’t entirely the full story. Athletics has to cut checks to the various colleges. BYU’s tuition is dirt cheap

...kind of. BYU also masks losses with tuition allocation to athletic department

For a uu guy, you sure have a lot of 'information' about BYU.

Honestly, I'm more a data guy

Yeah, that's it.

Thanks, I'm glad I'm here too

I haven't heard much of either of your 1-4s. Someone's probably said it, but....

You've never heard CB complain about Tuiaki? Are you sure you're not trolling?

krindorr

Yes, there has been lots of complaining about Tuiaki.

Great… share what you got about this “masking”.

RealityCheck

Masking might not be the right word, but BYU's profits are due to student fees

Bull Yewt. BYU was out early discussing the projected 20 million shortfall

This has to be true. The church is famous for opening their books and detailing

People keep saying that, but keep not giving evidence

I think there is A-lot of evidence that the church doesn’t share these kinds of

I feel like this could be a class action lawsuit

I wish the elimination of student subsidy were a requirement for P5

Nat Gas Man

It should be a requirement to be an FBS school

KingDave

7/25/21 12:30pm

Then sadly nobody would be an FBS school (including BYU)

Wow, I’m starting to think college athletics as we know it needs to die

This is why I truly hope the SEC turns into a 24 team super conference and stops

Junior Deputy

It's hard to justify taking tuition subsidies. They should require AD's to be

Is that just the scholarships though? I see that differently then straight up

runnincoug

7/25/21 1:53pm

It's not the scholarships (or if it is, that's worse...)

krindorr

Not sure I'd go that far

krindorr

Should just go to a professional model like Junior Hockey. The original posted

kotacoug

7/25/21 12:45pm

That seems like a good model - much more logical than the current system

spinner

7/25/21 12:56pm

They could even keep school affiliation and names etc… just treat the athletes

kotacoug

Agreed 100%

I understand why and how it evolved the way it did, but it really is weird for universities to sponsor developmental
