Yeah, the aspect that contributes money to the program

That's a very narrow view of how money is contributed to the program.

Yeah, the aspect that contributes money to the program

Do you have dollar amounts? I've read that Texas gets around $9 million annually from liscensing, which is great, but they're #1. I'd be interested to know what kind of dropoff there is outside say, the top 10.

Didn't someone post a fan base estimate that essentially put byu and wv on about the same level. Intuitively, that matches much better than something that puts wv at the 15th most attractive program in the country.

I didn't realize that Morgantown is only 75 miles away from Pittsburgh, and a couple hundred miles away from Baltimore, MD, DC, and Columbus, OH.

How do you do a fan-base estimate? I know BYU counts their 11 Million (I don't remember the total members of the church now. I missed the audit report for conference) members in the world as their fan-base.

The record speaks for itself.

Lol. After a year of disliking you, I'm starting to more fully understand and appreciate your greatness.

That's a great question!
One way to get the answer might be to ask the person who linked the study.
I have no doubt that the study simply links the conference audit report though. Hopefully, each school has a church.

I would love to attend the Church of the University of West Va. Can you imagine the great people watching experience you would have every week?

Testimony meeting would be fantastic.

[PolyCougar]

Wow... this thread suddenly woke up... full of Cult references, SU fights, fan size comparisons, and BYU to Big 12 dreams... it's good to be home, where things never change.

Ha...no kidding. Deliverance in church.

West Virginia may be the most beautiful state in the United States. Gorgeous country!

Hicks in West Virginia are on par with hicks in any other state.
