We consider polymers in which M randomly selected pairs of monomers are restricted to be in contact. Analytical arguments and numerical simulations show that an ideal (Gaussian) chain of N monomers remains expanded as long as M< (N/M)^(nu). The number of links needed to collapse a polymer in three dimensions thus scales as N^(phi), with (phi) > 0.43.
