I know... | 12:28 a.m. July 11, 2008

I know how much the guy at BYU makes.... 10% of my income...

GO UTES!

If he makes 10 percent ... | 2:13 a.m. July 11, 2008

of your income, let's hope you make a lot to pay him a competitive salary. In fact, I'll hope you get a big pay raise, so he gets paid more, and they can lower ticket prices.

Fingers crossed.

How absurd | 3:51 a.m. July 11, 2008

How does "I know..." have any idea where his tithing is allocated? My understanding, which I am certain is better founded than that of most, is that BYU employees' salaries do not come from tithing.

Those that wish to mix the matters of tithing and college sports ought to review the foundational principles underlying both topics.

Peter Sanko | 5:51 a.m. July 11, 2008

So, Mr. or Ms. Go Utes, are you saying that if the BYU athletic director makes let's say $150,000 you pay that much in tithing on your $1.5 million annual income. And if you are making $1.5 million it is nice of a Ute supporer to contribute so generously to BYU athletics. And how do you know it all goes to one person's salary at BYU? I'm just saying if your comment was supposed to be critical of Mormons volutarily paying 10 percent of their income to be used in many worthwhile ways, I missed your point.

Go Xavier | 5:53 a.m. July 11, 2008

These are base salaries only. Louisville AD's total package is over $1 million annually. I'd bet all these athletic directors have additional amounts added in a bonus structure or separate public appearance payments.

Mark | 6:49 a.m. July 11, 2008

I know: It must be tough on Holmoe, having to live on $1200 a year...

No You Don't | 6:50 a.m. July 11, 2008

He wouldn't work for 10% of what you make pumping gas. More likely it's 10% of Football and Basketball ticket sales.

Chuck Farley | 7:00 a.m. July 11, 2008

Poor Holmoe, he's makes 10% of food stamps.

Re: I know.... | 7:04 a.m. July 11, 2008

Classy....... But we don't expect anything else.

CougarBlue | 7:19 a.m. July 11, 2008

Where is the comparison of the other MWC directors, besides Utah and BYU.

To I know: | 7:25 a.m. July 11, 2008

I'm pretty sure he makes more than 10% of your $150.00 per week lemonade stand income, you buffoon...

Snow? | 7:30 a.m. July 11, 2008

Why wasn't the Snow A.D.'s information available? Snow is a state-owned school and should report all salaries.

Wouldn't it be great if all this funding and talent and energy went to the faculty of medicine? Or engineering? We will all need a doctor someday. Never in my life will I 'need' a basketball player.

John | 7:50 a.m. July 11, 2008

Since you seem to be ignorant of the facts let me educate you. BYU athletics do not use any tithing funds. It is entirely self sufficient on receipts and donations. But coaches and administrators at Utah do draw from public funds. So who really has the right to be upset? I would say BYU fans that happen to live in Utah. LOL

If that is all the smack you got then the well has run pretty dry.

BYU | 7:57 a.m. July 11, 2008

If the BYU A.D. takes 10% of all the Ute fans incomes he must be one poor dude. That is the one nice thing about being a Ute fan, on Saturday afternoons you have plenty of room to spred out at the R.E.S.

Good one...... | 8:03 a.m. July 11, 2008

Ute fans are so original. But i think he makes more than $10 a year...... Now I'm as funny as you.

RE: I know... | 8:06 a.m. July 11, 2008

You pay BYU AD's salary?

Needs money for phone calls | 8:10 a.m. July 11, 2008

I am sure Homoe makes a lot of money. He needs the extra for Mendenhall to make those phone calls to mission presidents and missionaries about coming to play for BYU. They are never going to tell you how much he makes but I can tell you it is a "ton" of money.

Dr. | 8:29 a.m. July 11, 2008

Dr. Hill is a quack.

Thanks | 8:30 a.m. July 11, 2008

I would like to thank all the Mormon Ute fans that helped subsidize my eduation at BYU.
