Who pays Rose's salary?


The men's basketball program is self funding. His salary is paid from the revenues of the program.

BYU is a private school. They don't get funding from the state.

Only men's basketball and football cover their expenses. But I've heard the entire athletic department is in the black. This means that football generates enough revenue to cover all the other sports. All the more reason to go independent, and generate an addition $10M + per year.

Congratulations Cougars. I have to admit, I wish Chris B. and Hedgehog had been right about this one. (But that's just 'cause I want my Utes good again).

That means at least 3 more losses in the Spectrum.

Aggie84: yeah, right...

Thanks for the insight.......

It's your own fault for letting yourself get your own hopes up. When have HH and CB ever been right about anything?

Glad to see Coach Rose get a raise and a contract to stay in Provo. He brought BYU basketball back to the front like all good coaches do. With Basketball winning from November through March and Spring football and Fall football from August through November, the year is mostly covered. Then we can spend the summer season fishing with the rest of the year working out just fine.

Go Cougars.

I personally think Rose is one of the very best College Coaches in America.... I think that most ADs around the country think that as well...

I'm surprize that after their rather bleak forecast that Christopher B and Hedgie aren't on here to give BYU their blessings nad best wishes for the future..... Oh well, maybe they will on the next article...

BYU is indeed fortunate to have a talent such as Rose directing the future of the School's Basketball program... I think he will be remembered at this University for several years.... in fact, decades to come....

@ CJ Miles;

If you're interested, you can join the DFW chapter of the BYU Management Society, attend a few events / lunches / lectures, and rub elbows with guys who know more about BYU than you or I do... That's not why I joined (I joined for networking), but it's a good side-benefit. Most of these guys spent 4+ years at the Y, and know how things work there.

Wow, BYU hoops is in great shape thanks to outstanding work by Rose & Co. With Jimmer it was truly an incredible season to remember. Excitement abounds with tremendous new talent to join the roster. And finally an abundance of size! Although in all fairness we were fine until Chris C. got injured and Brandon had some issues. Go Cougars! !

While I never expected Rose to leave, I let out a little whoop when i saw a comment in the LA Times that he had signed a 5-year deal.

I ignored college hoops for 20 years before Rose took over at BYU. He recruits shooters and speed and his up and down game reminds me of Stan Watts, whose teams hooked me on BYU hoops back in early 60s.

Rose has put the bloom back on BYU hoops!

Hey Aggie 84. Remind me how many NCAA tourney wins your coach has in 24 years as a head coach?

Many thanks to Dave Rose and all who made this an exciting year in BYU basketball. We are proud (righteously, I hope) of the results both seen and unseen.

I'm glad Coach Rose is staying. He oozes class.

I hope his staying makes it easier for Brandon to come back to the team, assuming the university allows it.
