(The Wildcats’ roster will be capped at 14 athletes, with 6½ scholarships split between them). That tenure, which likely will fall short of 60 days, would give her a claim to being Britain's shortest-serving prime minister. Who’s your coach?

(The UA will spend up to $1 million a year for scholarships, travel, a head coach and an assistant. That would set up a quarterfinal match likely against either Japan or Norway, and a semifinal match possibly against either Spain or Sweden. ) And, of course, the biggest one … "We’re in Tucson; where’s the water?"

There were logistical issues with each one. A woman told police she woke up to someone in dark clothing with a mask standing over her bed. In the case of equestrian, for example, the UA would have had to find stables (and horses).

We’d have to go east and to the Midwest (for games)." Triathlon made sense for a number of reasons, Heeke said. Tucson has become a popular training ground for cyclists and distance-runners. The newest Wildcats can run and cycle both on and off campus.

How that would work is still up in the air. Heeke said he envisions the swimming portion taking place at the Hillenbrand pool, with the running and cycling happening either on campus or through adjoining neighborhoods. Of course, the finer points aren’t that important at this stage.

Before becoming the head coach of Arizona State’s powerhouse women’s triathlon team in 2015, English spent 10 years in the Old Pueblo coaching professional and Olympic athletes. He lived near Kolb Road and Sunrise Drive, rented out Hillenbrand for his athletes, and raves about the JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort & Spa. A conversation about his former home includes talk of Daisy Mae’s steakhouse.

The prospect of the UA competing against ASU in a sport that the Sun Devils dominate doesn’t bother English — at least not yet. "In the quick, near future, we’ll be pretty big rivals," he said."To have that ability to be within two hours of each other and do dual meets, it’s going to be fantastic. I can’t wait to develop a new relationship with the (Wildcats’) coach early on.

The rest: Delaware State; Duquesne University; East Tennessee State; Hampton University; The Queens University of Charlotte; University of South Dakota; and Wagner College of Staten Island, New York. "We don’t have too many (western schools), no in-state options," English said. Adding"a big school, another D-I school, I just think it’s fantastic." While ASU has set the standard for college triathlon, Heeke said the UA isn't adding a triathlon team just to compete with its rival.

With access to a variety of trails and roads that offer high-quality, year-round training, the school is sure to attract top student-athletes. USA Triathlon is thrilled to see increased competitive opportunities for student-athletes at the D-I level — more opportunities will help drive collegiate triathlon competition to the highest level." USA Triathlon has taken major steps — and spent big money — to grow college triathlon from an NCAA Emerging Sport to, it hopes, a championship sport.

The governing body has been awarding grants to schools that add teams — a fact that may explain why the Division I ranks include not only ASU and the UA but the 2,300-student The Queens University of Charlotte, 2,200-student Wagner and 3,500-student Hampton. USA Triathlon gave ASU $140,000 over three years to kick-start its program, though the Sun Devils no longer receive any grant funding. The majority of the money was spent funding scholarships, an ASU spokeswoman said.

The UA’s grant was"currently being finalized" as of the athletic department's announcement, a USA Triathlon spokesperson said. The UA deferred comment about the grant program to the governing body. While no figure has been given, the grant is believed to be in the tens of thousands of dollars — far less than ASU received.

The seed money is"a big incentive," particularly for smaller schools, said English, ASU’s coach. Heeke called the grant money"a nice feature," and"a really solid way to get people to be interested real quickly," but said it wasn’t the deciding factor when it came time for the UA to add a new sport.
