I do not. Neither state funds or student fees should go to pay college athletes. That’s a grossly inappropriate use of public resources in my opinion. To the extent there is NIL funds being provided, it should come from private donations.

Instead of seeking those private funds, Burman took the lazy approach of asking the legislature for a bailout. Not only was his approach lazy but it directly impacted funding to academic programs (what state funds should go to as implicated by the Wyoming Constitution).

Isn't the easy answer to this conundrum just to put it to a vote?

Burman claims the survey UW completed showed significant statewide support for using state-appropriated dollars to support UW athletic programs. If that is the case, then put it on the ballot and let Wyomingites decide if using the funds for direct payments to athletes is a step too far or not.
