"There is a perception out there that the BYU Athletic Department De-partment has deep pockets and all the money it needs," Hale said. "But that's not true. When we were in the 16-team league (the old Western Athletic Conference after it expanded in 1996) we ran at a deficit. I'm putting together a budget now with a deficit of over $1 million." Hale went on to say that BYU isn't in the league budget wise with the huge football powerhouses power-houses such as Ohio State, which has a budget of approximately $45 million. Getting back to BYU, he said that BYU had not had a major athletic facility expansion project since 1982, when the football stadium sta-dium was expanded from 30,000 to60,000. "I plan on making things different dif-ferent in the future," Hale explained. ex-plained. "We need to make a major ma-jor push in fund raising and Cougar Cou-gar Club membership. The Cougar Cou-gar Club needs to be about double the size that it is now." The most important projects Hale sees in the immediate future fu-ture are a new baseballsoftball complex (now that BYU has added softball to its women's sports repertoire) and an indoor practice facility. Despite the current budget deficit, Hale sees great things ahead for the Cougar program.

"That doesn't mean their lacking, it just that they need assistance. as-sistance. That's what we're there for. We want to provide quality, caring service for the people of Utah County." Rainwater will work closely with the school districts and with the Department of Family Services Ser-vices to find those in need of its care. . "We've already talked to the districts and the County and they will refer cases to us when they feel we can help," Large said. "We will also take private referrals, but we expect most of our contacts con-tacts through the districts and ft&te agencies." VAL HALE television broadcasts and the new, eight team Mountain West Conference will be much less of a budget drain than the 16-team WAC was. Hale also spoke of the impact of Title DC, the federal law mandating man-dating equal educational opportunities oppor-tunities for men and women. The interpretation put on that law regarding athletics, has meant the elimination of several men's Olympic sports in colleges so that women have nearer to an equal number of scholarships. At BYU that meant cutting wrestling and men's gymnastics as of the end of this season. While Hale faces many challenges chal-lenges as the AD at BYU, he looks forward to the future.
