But "much less complex" than balancing a university athletic budget?

Your response was to the OP about athletic budgets running in the red. I continue to disagree. If that is not what you meant, then I am not sure how else I was supposed to interpret it.

And if you want to gratuitously bring up the SEC penalty to EPA and the Church, you are too late. It was discussed here exhaustively 3 months ago.

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

Depends on if 'flat' is when compared to the average of the previous deal or

Pretty horrible management to run a massive deficit even in your best case

They build up a large reserve and lake was a disaster. No games during covid didn’t help

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?

It’s a horrible cycle but that’s why they go into the red

Wow WA went from making a $4M profit to losing $6M. Big turn there. Somebody

Nat Gas Man

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

Flyoverstate

6/10/23 7:53am

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

It’s goes to sports! BYU education is all subsidized by tithe holders. Those
