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

I don't think the NCAA sanctions women's wrestling.
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.

You need a WHOLE lot more than 12-15. It's a BIG number.
Wonderful picture. Loved the touch of them handing out Roses after the presser.

You forgot the life guard.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.
Where was Hawkins today ? I saw interviews with Lappe, Boyle and even the women's tennis coach.
