I think WYO should evaluate this plan:
UAB did it...and they beat the team behind the Zion Curtain this year in a bowl game:
The UAB football program was terminated after the 2014 season but was reinstated shortly thereafter. The team went on hiatus for two seasons before returning in 2017. UAB won both its first conference championship and bowl game in program history in 2018.
Fire the staff, fire all the admin - all AD's included especially dead weight like the CJC guy, fire all the support staff, terminate all scholarships (keep the equipment gang for a few weeks to help burn it all to ashes, and keep the strength guys with their Big A$$ Chains to work as janitors around campus) - and start over. f-word it, treat it like you would a meth-house, demolish the f-word.

Wow, that would be drastic. Nor would it be feasible without other cuts because football revenues help subsidize other sports.
But - in today's world, I don't think there really is such thing as a 'death penalty' in college football. Stop playing for a few years and come back...well hell just use the transfer portal to create a brand new team rather than a team full of underclassmen.

Cut away. Cut the head off. Disembowel. Remove the limbs. Whatever needs to be done to start over.OrediggerPoke wrote: ↑Mon Dec 27, 2021 3:31 pm Wow, that would be drastic. Nor would it be feasible without other cuts because football revenues help subsidize other sports.

As proven by UAB, you can shut it down for a few years, and come back much, much stronger.
Dear Karma,
I have a list of people you missed...

That would destroy the program. Lot easier to recruit to UAB (surrounded by states with an abundance of good football players) than to Laramie.McPeachy wrote: ↑Mon Dec 27, 2021 3:42 pmCut away.

We would be booted out of the MWC and I very much doubt we would be allowed back in. Teams hate to travel to Laramie and we would be relegated to FCS status, at best. It's hard to imagine a more disastrous move.
Bohl/Burman have done (nearly) the same thing without having to shut down the program.WestWYOPoke wrote: ↑Mon Dec 27, 2021 8:55 pmThat would destroy the program.
