The $$$ discrepancy between SEC money and Big 12 money has very little to do with ESPN, FOX or media deals at all

Would be interesting to see avg ticket price for an SEC football game v Big 12

Im curious how much of an outlier BYU is on that $18 million number.

In the SEC, unless it’s Vanderbilt vs Kentucky, I can’t picture being able to

In 2019, we had $72M in revenue, with 26% coming from ticket sales, so that year it was $18.7M

Thats total athletic revenue right?

rad dawg

Good to know. While we don't like higher prices, that's a huge part of what separates us from the SEC

The level of support in the SEC is hard to comprehend

Yes. And something like 10 of the SEC schools sell alcohol

Why I bet even their hotdogs cost more.

Q-grr

It's not just the SEC, though they're the most notable. Ohio St had $60M in donations & $73M in tix, $33M in 'other'

If you're curious why Clemson has been successful, despite being ACC, they brought in $85M in donations

krindorr

Imagine what our NIL would look like if we had $85M in annual donations. Our expenses are much lower than others. We

Unlikely for a couple reasons

rad dawg

12/5/24 7:26pm

I don't follow " so allocating those funds to NIL means lowering ticket costs,". We get about $25M per year in

HarlemCoug

Schools cannot fund NIL.

rad dawg

12/5/24 8:20pm

Schools will start funding NIL this coming season. And even if they don't, Tom would just need to tell a donor to send

It's actually revenue sharing, but NIL and rev share are used interchangeably, adding to the confusion

12/5/24 8:33pm

Yup exactly. They won't be able to just take an arbitrary chunk of donation $$

rad dawg

12/5/24 8:39pm

Keep your eyes out for some super interesting new approaches..coming soon

GoodBetterBestBYU

All tuition and aid is funneled through BYU football before going to the school?

rad dawg

12/5/24 9:09pm

hahahaha yes

Some new commerce based approaches to involve broader fanbase shifting existing budget and behaviors

Where is money from non-media conference distributions shown? I.e. NCAA tourney

ColtsCoug

12/5/24 4:53pm

That's in the media + conference distributions section

krindorr

12/5/24 4:56pm

Ok, but that’s the old media deals. The new media deals that are now starting have a pretty massive difference.

TCuz

12/5/24 6:02pm

True, new media deals will grow the gap...but those deals follow engagement

krindorr

12/5/24 6:07pm

Challenge with reliance on media is that their business models are under strain with streaming

GoodBetterBestBYU

12/5/24 9:19pm

They have at least 10% more disposable income…

GoodBetterBestBYU

12/5/24 6:17pm

That's before the new media deals

MyTwoCents

12/5/24 9:27pm

True, but they get the larger media deals due to the greater fan engagement/investment
