U Wyoming Athletics Budget Becomes A Hot Button Issue - BOB BECK, Wyoming Public Media

Many programs on the University of Wyoming campus are facing budget cuts, but there are those who believe that academics is suffering more than it should. That’s especially when compared to athletics. In public forums several faculty and staff members say they want athletics de-emphasized at the University. The reason is because they think it costs a lot and is not priority. It doesn't help that the football team is coming off dismal 2-10 football season, that the head coach makes a million dollars, and the athletics department is building a $41 million for a nutrition and training center. http://wyomingpublicmedia.org/post/uw-athletics-budget-becomes-hot-button-issue
