Re: UW Block Grant Budget Amendment

What % of UW budget is untouchable or cannot be redirected to other expenditures? I don’t have the accounting from Office of State Lands and Investments. Pure guess is roughly around 30% of funds from Morrill Act lands. I’d argue that the constitutional provision must limit the legislature’s abilit...

Re: UW Block Grant Budget Amendment

Didn't you just say most of UW's money is from sources that aren't taxpayers and the money has to be spent at UW? If that's the case, what funding is the legislature threatening? Most of UW’s money is not from individual taxpayers. It’s from a combination of school lands, mineral royalties and mine...

Re: UW Block Grant Budget Amendment

So then the legislature can't do anything anyway? Why worry about it then? They just did. They appointed themselves head of curriculum and regulators of speech for the University. The legislature also controls the federal royalties (which is all of our coal production) and all severance tax dollars...

Re: Coach Sawvel benches 305

At this point... Sky is the limit if you have the money. My earlier question remains unanswered. Where had Wyoming historically ranked in conference recruiting? Is it consistent? I have no idea where to even find this information. If you don't know that is fine. Rivals has a database of that inform...

Just trying to get opinions on the all-time greatest Wyoming recruiting class... What " should " be hoped is not my concern. If you don't know...feel free to say so...I definitely don't know. Again, my sense is that Wyoming has always been a lower tier recruiting destination, but I really...

Re: UW Block Grant Budget Amendment

Is UW the only common school and what percentage of UW's funds are designated as such? If it can only can be used at UW, then this threat from the legislature is relatively toothless. The declining enrollment may be a symptom of a university that lost connection with the base they serve. 100% of Mo...

Re: Coach Sawvel benches 305

Wyoming has never really competed for the top of the conference so that should not be the hope or expectation.

Re: UW Block Grant Budget Amendment

Could that money not be used elsewhere? The declining enrollment is likely a symptom of large issues. A lot of it cannot be used for purposes other than to fund the ‘common schools.’ This was the agreement Wyoming made when it became a state and the federal government granted 2 sections of land on ...

Re: UW Block Grant Budget Amendment

Flip the conversation. UW receives a greater percentage of its budget from the state than peer institutions (I think). Should WY taxpayers be forced to give UW all that money with no input? Just shut up and give us money. We'll tell you what's good for you. Steep declines in enrollment while spendi...

What Wyoming recruiting class has ranked the highest in conference at Wyoming ever? (at least in the last 30 or so years)

Demented vs Dementia. Great.

Part of me wonders if Biden really runs or if this is just buying time. Sometime late summer or early fall he has a health crisis and Michelle is rolled out.

I haven't seen anything ranking him above late round/udfa even after the combine?? Not being negative just curious if I've missed something?

Semi-OT:long distance Amtrak

I read somewhere about expanded Amtrak services from Billings to El Paso via Greybull and Cheyenne (among others).

Anyone know the details? Will there be opportunities for UW to partner for gameday travel (either more home fans or travel to csu, AF, UNM)?
