The state treasurer shall invest funds in the University of Wyoming permanent land fund account in a bridge loan to the University of Wyoming which shall not exceed a total of four million three hundred thousand dollars ($4,300,000.00) or the amount of binding commitments from donors which have been secured but not yet paid, whichever is less. The loan made under this section shall be repaid not later than December 31, 2011, and the unpaid balance of the loan shall bear interest at five and thirty-five hundredths percent (5.35%) annually.
(b) Transfers of loan funds by the state to the university under this section are subject to the following terms and conditions so that the university can complete its previously authorized athletics facilities plan by receiving an advance on donor commitments:
(i) Transfers shall be made only to the extent that binding commitments from donors for gifts that qualify for the athletics facilities matching program under W.S. 21‑16‑1001(a)(ii) have been made. The university shall provide documentation satisfactory to the state treasurer regarding binding commitments eligible for the transfer of funds;
(ii) Transfers made to the university under this section shall be deemed to be qualifying contributions for the purpose of the state match and the university’s access to funds under the athletics facilities matching program, W.S. 21‑16‑1003;
(iii) When donors make payments toward their binding commitments under paragraph (i) of this subsection, those payments shall be immediately transferred to the state treasurer to repay accrued interest and then to reduce the outstanding balance of the loan funds transferred;
(iv) Not later than January 1, 2012, the university shall repay all loans made under this section and accrued interest. If the payments from donors are insufficient to repay the loan, the loan balance together with any state matching funds exceeding the paid qualifying contributions shall be fully repaid from non-state revenues generated by the university’s department of intercollegiate athletics. Repayment of the loan principal shall be deposited into the University permanent land fund account, and payments of interest shall be deposited in the University permanent land fund income account. Any repayment of unmatched state funds shall be deposited to the challenge account created by W.S. 21‑16‑1002(a).". COE, DECARIA, HINES
