Even with Wyoming in the midst of an economic downturn, Gov. Matt Mead said he supports continuing a $5 million match toward University of Wyoming athletics.
Mead hopes to make it a part of his next budget, which is due by Dec. 1.
“What we’ve got started here at UW with regard to athletics, with regard to engineering, the science initiative, I don’t what that momentum to stop,” Mead told the Star-Tribune. “Those types of things, we won’t know until I’m through (with budget) hearings, the amount of money we’re going to have, but if at all possible, we certainly want to support that.
