It’s just that as long as you’re redoing the pool, why not do it right

Perhaps because it would to a ton more $$$

They had the $$$ lined up

Did they? What did they do with it?

Still with the people who committed to donate if if they expanded the pool

The amount of people that lined up to donate showed the amount of support

So where is all this money and support?

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

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?

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
