So, with the bowl payout, they'll barely be halfway to making up the shortfall.
I know BYU doesn't operate with debt, and doesn't fund athletics with tuition or tithing dollars, so I'm curious if the athletic department has enough in reserves to cover the shortage, or if we're going to see some cost-cutting or cash-grabbing moves over the next few months or so until they can sell 2021 football season tickets.
I don't think Kalani or Pope are getting a raise--maybe an extension, but I don't think any coaches are getting raises before Q3 2021.
I'm sure BYU has funds somewhere because they normally have a net revenue:

I've been getting this information from here over the years; https://ope.ed.gov/athletics/#/
But this year BYU had a major short fall and they don't have to dip into those funds they won't, because you start going down that road pretty soon the funds are gone (the next time it is easier). So they have tighten their budget, aka cut staff and other spending where they can.Statistics: Posted by E-Zone15 — Thu Jan 07, 2021 11:54 pm
