The Campbell County Com-mission has instructed county employees to begin

investigating what it would take to withdraw Gillette College from the Northern Wyoming Commu-nity College District.

“I want everyone to be per-fectly clear: This is not going to be easy,” Commissioner Rusty Bell said to a packed commissioner chambers Monday afternoon. “We have to tax ourselves. There are some options on how that works, but that will have to hap-pen. And this doesn’t come at the hands of a few donors here and there. It has to be a community-wide effort.”

The discussion comes in the wake of the NWCCD cutting all athletics at both Gillette and Sheridan colleges — except for rodeo — as part of an overall budget reduction of about $4 million. The coaches and play-ers learned of the move on the morning of June 25, with many caught off guard. Coaches are out of jobs and student-athletes are left without programs to play in after much of the critical spring recruiting season has passed.

Bell laid out two options where Campbell County could have more control over what happens at Gillette College: become incor-porated into the Northern Wyo-ming Community College District or create its own special district.

To do either would likely re-quire raising the county’s mill levy, which is used to assess prop-

erty taxes.“What is the mill level that

people can accept?” he asked. “I really don’t know what that is.”

Before any potential college vote gets anywhere near a ballot box, the county needs to create and submit an application to the Wyoming Community College Commission.

“It means we can start the process at some point,” Bell said, before adding that it would not go to voters this year. “The timeline doesn’t allow for that, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start the process. It’s time for us to start thinking about our own district.”

Commissioners are sending a letter to college district lead-ers saying the elimination of the sports pograms is “devastating” to the local community.

“Making such a decision with-out consultation with anyone in the community is both disap-pointing and concerning,” the letter says.

Gillette College Vice President Janell Oberlander told commis-sioners that “we knew this was gong to be deep, and painful for our community.”

“Nonetheless, we had to move forward,” she said. “These are un-precedented financial times and it calls for unprecedented reactions and unprecedented actions.”

Former head men’s basketball coach Shawn Neary said the deci-sion has an impact far beyond the athletics programs.

Without sports, he asked, what will happen to other aspects of campus life such as the dorms, cafeteria and classrooms? Will students and local residents who

work there keep their jobs when the Pronghorn Center, dorms or cafeteria aren’t used as much?

“What they’re trying to do to us is going to take down Gillette Col-lege, period,” Neary said.

Some student-athletes have said they’ve already been contact-ed by other schools to play there.

Isaac Mushily, who was a guard and forward for the Prong-horns as a freshman in 2019-20, has received offers but decided to “wait-and-see.” If the program in Gillette is reinstated somehow, “I’m definitely staying in Gil-lette,” he said.

Bell said it would cost about $532,000 to allow sports to come back in 2020-21.

Some have offered to donate toward that, including the Prong-horns booster club, which is will-ing to chip in all of its savings, about $180,000.

Liz Lewis, former women’s basketball coach, said she’s will-ing to work on a small budget to be able to keep sports at the school. She had only been the coach for one season, but finished as the No. 21 ranked junior col-lege in the nation and expected to bring back a loaded squad next season.

Darla Cotton, Campbell County Parks and Recreation Informa-tion Technology specialist, sug-gested people travel to Sheridan College to attend Wednesday night’s board meeting.

“If you guys don’t think that this college is not on the chopping block for the next round of cuts, you’re all crazy because that’s exactly where this is heading,” Cotton said.
