Regardless if you have a male swim team or not, if you have a women's team, do they not still need a pool to swim in? Should it not be worthy of an aspiring P5 program? And any other non-revenue sport you might replace the swim/dive teams with will need facilities of their own. Maybe they won't cost $25 million but there's going to be planning and design that will be a cost, which they've already invested into the new pool.

And they have spend the money to fix the pool anyway. Too many academic and communal uses to just not replace it.

I'm sure there's another side byu isn't sharing but it's very perplexing what the deal is here.
