Good point, facilities are already there. Maybe because it isn't an NCAA sanctioned sport yet... not sure.

Re: SDSU to Final Four

SDSU won't care...if they stayed, their payout for basketball would be less than $1 million (~$125 -140,000 per year for 6 years). If they went to the PAC, they would get about $33-34 million per year thanks to football. A touch more than the ~$4 million they make per year in the MWC.

Re: Bring back the baseball program

Not trying to be pissy but how come they can do it and we can't? https://gobison.com/facilities/newman-outdoor-field/4 No one is saying we can't do it, just that it is not realistic. And NDSU is a perfect example of the obstacles that UW would face. Looking at NDSU schedule, their first game was Fe...

Harsh broke his kneecap before last season. is that an easy one to come back from? Depends on a few things. Was it a complete fracture, or just a stress reaction or partial fracture. Was it just bone or did it involve the quadricep tendon or patellar tendon. Was the medial patellofemoral ligament d...

Re: Transfer portal - is it really ultimately good for (most) players?

Transfer portal is right because players should have the option to freely move to where they see themselves as a better fit. Employees typically have this right to freely change jobs/place of employment as well. The issue is NIL. NIL, IMO, is actually going to destroy opportunities for athletes. Th...

Yep, when was the last time a MW school has been a national champion of anything?
I think NM in cross country

It was in his instagram. Not sure if he is all cleared to wrestle, but he said he “will be back”. If he is reformed and cleared legally, maybe Wyoming should take a look No, we shouldn't.

Re: Bring back the baseball program

Got 3-4 million bucks laying around? Half for baseball, half for women's programs. While it would be fun, just doesn't seem realistic. Triple that figure at a minimum. I was being very conservative. I suspect you are closer to the real number, but you could probably do a bare bones program for $1.5...

Re: At what point do we start to ask questions about Linder?

Yea - I don't understand the tie of Wicks leaving. He was offered a D1 head coaching job likely with a significant pay increase. Why wouldn't he pursue that? Absolutely agree. I don't know Wicks mindset but I have to imagine most college assistant coaches have the ultimate goal of being a head coac...

There's no point arguing with you guys, that's why I've tried to stay away from this thread.

Not sure what point you are trying to make. Nothing new in this article that wasn't already known. If anything you should be happy. Data showing that, while the vaccines did save lives, there is still room for improvement. Uh oh... https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/natural-immunity-protect...

Re: NIL

Realistically, a Mountain West level NIL collective is going to probably have to shell out at least half a million a year to be competitive. I don't know if beer sales are going to cut it for that amount.

San Jose and Boise both have NIL collectives set up already from what I can tell.
