This will help a little. I’ll do some more digging, there is another report that breaks down each sport and lists revenue vs expenses. I recall woman ‘s basketball costing something like 5 mm a year with practically zero revenue.
Consolidated Budget Fiscal Year 2016

As far as paying players, no way. I’m totally against it for several reasons. There is plenty of demand for D1 talent, no need to pay. Next, the school create a the stars, not the other way around. When I pay for my season tickets I pay to see the Utes, not Hunter Dimick. If it weren’t for the school, I never would have heard of Hunter Dimick.

As far as a giant Under Armour contract, it’s swallowed up by giant expenses. It’s all realitive. Life for a Utah football player is pretty damn good bouncing around that multi-million dollar facility all day and night working out, getting treatments, studying, goofing around with your best friends and eating top quality food any time you want, all you want. On a related note, I used to see athletes all the time at the down town Smith’s, but since the facilities have been built, nada.
