That pool situation is an unbelievable joke. What possible rationale could exist

It’s just that as long as you’re redoing the pool, why not do it right
travelcoug
6/25/21 12:45pm
Perhaps because it would to a ton more $$$
Pretorian
6/25/21 1:59pm
They had the $$$ lined up

6/25/21 2:01pm
Did they? What did they do with it?
Pretorian
6/25/21 2:02pm
Still with the people who committed to donate if if they expanded the pool
travelcoug
6/25/21 2:12pm
The amount of people that lined up to donate showed the amount of support
1984coug

So where is all this money and support?

Please read responses by myself and rockhound- it gives the entire reasoning

The BYU swimmers only need to swim at a diagonal to pick up the extra 4 meters.

If you don't think BYU has weird issues think again.

Really! You have no concept of costs or potential engineering issues, even for 4 meters

Still a mistake.

Dude they tried that. Chill.

So they couldn't get interest in donating or did donations get rejected?

They did raise the funds. They just decided to build a smaller pool.

Did they raise enough funds to build the bigger pool?

No. It never got to that point. They did raise funds for the beautiful

The mistake was putting any money into the pool. BYU should drop this sport.

There is a much better argument to redirect the money to sports that are

Well- women’s swimming provides more than 30 athletes to help offset football... so drop men’s but not women’s swimming.
