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

State schools, especially, probably plan to show no profit. They'll spend whatever you give them.

So just "profit" is a fuzzy measure. But subsidies are pretty clearly a sign you are a sinking financial ship.

Ouch.

That is disgusting.

IMO, this is important stuff for CFB.

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

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.

Benfica1

Honestly, I'm more a data guy

krindorr

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

7/26/21 6:08am

Yes, there has been lots of complaining about Tuiaki.

Benfica1

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

RealityCheck

7/25/21 5:25pm

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

Lol. Can you be more specific please?

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

Think how much UofU could lower tuition if instead of wasting the PAC money on

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

7/25/21 11:41am

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)

krindorr

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

BYU takes money from tuition though

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

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
