Start a wrestling program instead - more important to P5 membership

If we start a wrestling program, we get our foot in the Big 12 door. If we get a foot in the door, it is easier to add us in the future.

So, if I was a billionaire and wanted to help BYU athletics, I would pay to bring back our wrestling program. Work that opening to add Women's Gymnastics to the Big 12. Keep pushing that door open.

Go Cougs!!!!!!

They wouldn't accept it. They don't want to appear to spend too much on sports.

They would accept to the extent it could be framed as a church building.

That’s what I was thinking. Make a retractable roof to house major events.

You stated "no strings attached" and immediately followed with your strings 🙂

What did I miss? What were the strings?

Ahh. That it had to be state of the art. Yes that string is attached.
