It's amazing the resources schools are providing athletes and that the athletes can access.

Which means more $ from fans. We have good fans, but a lot are tightwads.

The type of money this requires doesn't come from the average tightwad fan

Dang that is very nice. Hopefully there are plans in place for BYU to upgrade.

Agreed. In the 1980s BYu had nice facilities
