Presser has started

Seems to be spreading... :lol:

I'm trying to think - what would "olympic sports" mean in terms of CU adding sports?? Swimming, diving, wrestling? I guess it could even be field hockey... :huh: Wrestling and field hockey would be dirt cheap to add, I guess...

Please, please, please, please! I would definitely go wrestling matches.

Hopefully we are able to re-introduce those sports we lost about 30 years ago.

One of those sports was swimming. Regulation pools have increased in size since 1980. We'd need an entirely new swimming/diving facility. Strangely enough, like baseball, there is a lot of swimming talent in Colorado. There was a kid from Silver Creek who got a scholly to Stanford last year. Regis, Arapahoe, Creek - all have really, really strong swimming programs. I don't know what the exact number of people on a team is, but I suspect it's somewhere in the 12-15 range. You need sprinters, middle distance and long distance swimmers, plus specialists in every stroke, plus divers.

Also, if you're building a swimming facility, you might as well make it suitable for water polo as well. There is no pool currently at CU suitable for water polo.

Troo.
They could do this, though. It wouldn't be that difficult. There's plenty of space to expand the current pool if that's something they decide to do. You knock down Claire Small and have the pool go North/South, with the diving well/water polo pool right next to it. I don't know how the politics of it would work, though. The current pool is operated by the UCSU, not the athletic department.

What about that pond by Colo. and US 36, that won't work?

You need a WHOLE lot more than 12-15. It's a BIG number.

Here's my napkin math:

You want 2-3 people in every event. There are somewhere in the area of 15 events when you add up relays & individual events. You probably have each swimmer in 2-3 events per meet. So I came up with 15-ish.
 
Watching now. I like the part about redefining CU's commitment to athletics from Bohn... however, hawk has infected him. He said something was awesome. :lol:

Wonderful picture. Loved the touch of them handing out Roses after the presser. :)
