The fact of the matter is that sports at BYU is not very high on the priority list.

You should have told him to pull his head out. The priority list should be as follows:
1. Establish a very good research institution
2. BYU Football - followed by all othe athletics
3. Pac 10 Invitation and access to BCS money
That's the priority list. Nothing more, nothing less.
