When I read the statement, i thought it was clearly bad news for P12.

But then the Athletic and Wilner are trying to tell me it means the P12s new deal will be as good or better than B12s

It's confusing.

Agreed, their deal is worth 250 mil per year? Where is this extra 100 mil

I wonder how many FBS athletic budgets actually run in the black

I’ve heard it said that there are only about 25-30 profitable Athletic depts

Choices. Spend less than you make.

Then you lose games. Most money goes toward facilities and coaching. Cut back

So spend and expect someone else to bail you out?

And that deficit is on top of "support" from the taxpayers. Outrageous.

How much tax revenue do athletics generate for the state?

Running a church with fluid tithing income is imo much less complex. Church

Funds are not an issue with BYU sports because no tithing goes to BYU sports
