Re: Fastest Growing High School Sport
It gets a lot of attention in my part of Colorado. Probably one of the smarter moves the wrestling "community" made. By growing the girls side of the sport, they can keep the men's sport alive because it will help colleges with their Title IX equity numbers. The next step of course it to ...

Re: UW Block Grant Budget Amendment
They just did. They appointed themselves head of curriculum and regulators of speech for the University. The legislature also controls the federal royalties (which is all of our coal production) and all severance tax dollars to spend (or not spend) at their Will Didn't you just say most of UW's mon...

Re: MWC Basketball to go to 20 game conference schedule
As a Mines alum - how does playing Colorado Mines or CSU-Pueblo do anything for us as an OOC game other than presumably add to the win column for a game excluded from NET rankings? I don’t want to see Mines play Wyoming, realistically the game shouldn’t even be competitive. And I’m one of the few w...

Re: UW Block Grant Budget Amendment
100% of Morrill Land Grant funds generated from certain applicable lands must be dedicated to the University. In addition, Article 7, Section 16 of the Wyoming Constitution requires the cost of instruction at the University ‘be nearly free as possible.’ So then the legislature can't do anything any...

Cowgirls Eliminated
Cowgirls eliminated.
Wyoming loses 5 of its last 7 in the regular season to fall to the 3rd seed. Then they lost last night to 6 seed Boise in the first round. Very disappointing finish to the season.

Re: Utah St woman’s coach - this is harsh
It shows a high level of incompetence for the AD at Utah State to send her out for a press conference after being fired.

Re: Coach Sawvel benches 305
What level of recruiting class do you think is attainable? At this point... Sky is the limit if you have the money. My earlier question remains unanswered. Where had Wyoming historically ranked in conference recruiting? Is it consistent? I have no idea where to even find this information. If you do...

Re: Coach Sawvel benches 305
With our NIL payments, we have zero chance of signing the ‘best recruiting class.’ Wyoming will have to rely on the Craig Bohl development model. I’d argue high school recruiting rankings have become relatively meaningless with the portal though. Keeping your good players is probably more important...

Re: MWC Basketball to go to 20 game conference schedule
DU, Northern Colorado, and Montana State should be a staple in our non-conference basketball schedule every single year. Travel is relatively easy with those teams, and I have to believe our fans care more about a game against a regional team they recognize vs. a school they have to google to find ...

Re: Fresno - twice in a row
Rumor is that Fresno’s coach (Hutson) has been advised that he is done after the MWCT. This could go 1 of 2 ways: (1) Fresno plays their hearts out; (2) Fresno just packs it in.

Big 12 Championships
Great performance by Volk winning the championship! Probably gets him a 5/6 seed in the NCAAs. Joey Novak wrestled Buchanan really close for 3/4. One of the relatively rare D1 wrestlers who never win a state title. Would be so great to see him place at NCAAs ahead of Buchanan. Overall, Wyoming tied ...

Re: UW Block Grant Budget Amendment
A lot of it cannot be used for purposes other than to fund the ‘common schools.’ This was the agreement Wyoming made when it became a state and the federal government granted 2 sections of land on each township to the State. Is UW the only common school and what percentage of UW's funds are designa...

Re: How to End NIL?
The way NIL currently exists, collectives are private entities. They are not run or funded by schools. This means Title IX does not apply as private organizations don't fall under that umbrella. However, with the recent court rulings that are moving everything closer to schools paying athletes dire...

Re: UW Block Grant Budget Amendment
Wyoming is facing an enrollment issue no doubt. I don’t see how the legislature’s recent moves do anything to assist with that. I’d say it’s a misnomer to suggest that Wyoming taxpayers foot a larger portion of the university bill than our peer institutions. The vast majority of State funding for t...

Re: UW Block Grant Budget Amendment
Flip the conversation. UW receives a greater percentage of its budget from the state than peer institutions (I think). Should WY taxpayers be forced to give UW all that money with no input? Just shut up and give us money. We'll tell you what's good for you. Steep declines in enrollment while spendi...

Re: Fresno - twice in a row
I was wrong - Fresno is much worse than their terrible NET. Glad we poured it onto them! I’d have to think Fresno should come out really motivated Wednesday after their embarrassing loss at home (worst ever for Fresno in conference).

Re: MWC Basketball to go to 20 game conference schedule
I’m not excited for it. If it meant that we would cut out all of the regular season games against the likes of Adams State, then yes. But I bet it only means 2 less games against teams from other D1 schools.
