I think BYU and Ute fans can agree on one thing.......

There's no room in 2011. Maybe 2012. A lot depends on whether AFA has 8 or 9 conference games. With 8, it becomes more likely, but I don't see BYU ever getting a spot when AFA has 9 conference games.

Right now, AFA is in a conference for 2011 that has lost two teams and only added one. That means they have 8 conference games in 2011.

In 2012-13, Utah will receive approximately $10.5 million from the P12 TV deal (50% of their share). That is $4 million more than the entirety of the share Utah received from the MWC TV deal that began in 2006, with near-infinitely better exposure.

In 2011-12, Utah will receive $2.2 million from the creation of the P12 title game alone, almost double what their yearly share was in the MWC.

I'm guessing the math for BYU is equally glowing going forward (and equally galling in reflection).

Yeah, I'm sure BYU's going to be pulling down 21 million plus each year (not to mention whatever revenues pour in for the PAC12 Network).

I think he meant the numbers in comparison to MWC money will be equally glowing, not that they would be the same.

Of course as an Independent and a Private institution, we'll probably never hear BYU's numbers. So yeah, why not say $21 million.

Plus another $21M in church funds.

Yeah, BYU has unlimited funds upon which to draw. BYU's financial structure probably differs significantly from those of public institutions.

It will be nice for Utah to make so much dough, it can finally upgrade its facilities to be on par with BYUs.

My original post doesn't factor in what Utah will receive when they are full phased in to the P12 TV revenue. It only factors in what they'll receive over the next two years, which will be less than the (estimated) $16 million BYU will receive in that same timespan.

There's nothing wrong with what I posted.

You believe BYU is going to get 16 million over that timespan?

They have an HD Truck!

[Coach McGuirk]

They have an HD Truck!

Damn straight!

[Hot Lunch]

Damn straight!

I am just waiting for Utah to get a 3D HD Truck with all the freaking money they are about to make in order to be one upper in the truck category.

Realistically, the money is only an issue for Utah. Not as big of a deal for BYU.

I would say, finally, Utah will have the monetary resources that BYU has had at it's disposal for a few decades. For the first time, maybe ever in our lifetimes, Utah will be on an equal footing financially with BYU.

BYU's TV deal could be worth $5.00 and it really wouldn't matter. The key for BYU is exposure, not money. They've got the money part covered in spades.

Utah had to get both. And they did.

Essentially, both schools got exactly what they needed out of their new situations.

I don't foresee BYU ever being short on cash. If they get into an arms race with anyone, they *could* win, it would just be a matter of committing and diverting resources.

I still believe Utah is in the better situation and there have been a number of BYU fans here that have expressed similar sentiment.

However, again, I think both schools are getting what they needed out of their new situations.

I think most people are forgetting all the tithing money BYU gets in addition to TV money.

I figure from ALUF's alone, BYU is getting 8 million a year in tithing. We need to add that to our 6-8 mill from ESPN in order to make it a realistic figure. In other words, BYU wins!

Is Utah required to pay tithing money on their huge freaking T.V. deal that was just inked?
