Is this true at BYU?

Womens soccer is probably cash flow +

Most attendees are ROC passes which allows them to get in free. That’s not a bad

I firmly believe men's soccer would be cash positive if BYU would bring it back

but outweighed by the women's sport opposite of it that will not be.

12/8/21 11:55am
possibly, but a lot of athletic depts that are inferior to byu make it work

They also lose money, get subsidies and view it as marketing

Women's beach volleyball (6 schollies) could be revenue positive. Add bowling

I agree here....they would draw twice as many as the women team. I really enjoy

Sold out games, high viewership

small stadium (mostly ROC passes) and i doubt BYU soccer makes much money from

No

Men's volleyball might be because they only have 4 scholarships (maybe 4.5). Soccer and volleyball, no because they

4 scholarships? That’s it?

Yes. I don't remember what baseball gets - I think it's 11?

12/8/21 10:37am
Womens soccer has 14. Limits listed here:
Thrill
12/8/21 10:35am
Some of those limits seem really arbitrary. Women's ice hockey gets 18? Wow!

18 seems like a lot, but NCAA teams dress 22 players (19 skaters and 3 goalies)

UCLA men's volleyball has costs of $1.5M. Would guess BYU is similar

Emmert from the NCAA? someone shoot the NCAA and put them out of their misery.

I wouldn't consider baseball or soccer to really be Olympic sports typically.
Turnpike Lane
12/8/21 10:18am
When referring to college sports, Olympic sports usually means non-football

When you add up coaching costs, scholarships, and travel costs, I'd be surprised
Heath Squashwell
12/8/21 10:19am
It's absolutely true. And baseball isn't usually considered an "Olympic sport."

Isn't it A long ROW not Road in that phrase?
JayOwen
12/8/21 10:29am
Probably.
shoganai
12/8/21 10:30am
Hoeing a road would be way harder than hoeing a row, so it might be accurate
ryebrye
12/8/21 10:32am
No. Football, mens basketball and mens volleyball are revenue positive.
travelcoug
12/8/21 10:26am
By olympic sport, I think he is excluding both football and basketball.
kccougar
12/8/21 10:31am
And mens volleyball?
travelcoug
12/8/21 12:08pm
I thought Utah made money with their gymnastics team
ryebrye
12/8/21 10:33am
Probably made more than Basketball over last decade. Especially with 80 K's cost
Ycrazy
12/8/21 10:36am
And they don't need the Huntsman curtain for gymnastics meets.

I'd love to see women's BB team get more fans in the stands...
lbmango
12/8/21 12:15pm
If we were a top 10 yr in/out, we'd have fans.
jlhazlewood
12/8/21 4:59pm
Isn't that true of every sport at every school? If they just had more fans, they could be positive cash flow
krindorr
12/8/21 7:15pm
Mostly, true.

I have seen the graphics before. Football and men's basketball are obviously the

If South Field seated 10K then maybe.
wilsdad
12/8/21 12:52pm
It's true. Only men's basketball comes close to breaking even at BYU
StumptownCoug
12/8/21 1:08pm
There was a recent graphic that showed BYU baseball being revenue positive. I don't know if it was creative accounting,
Bob Vance

Women's volleyball probably isn't, at least based on U of Minnesota's numbers

12/8/21 1:17pm
Overall, it's FB, MBB and then it depends on the school. Y makes $ on 2 sports.

Not true for several of the top wrestling programs.
