Imagine what our teams could do if the department wasn't in total disarray.

Sharing a practice space is having such a terrible impact on our program. Who's got $30 million?

Three-point plan for surefire success:
1, Redshirt Arians, Tiby and Jordan 2, Fire Amanda Braun 3, Don't put any money into new facilities. Ever.

Sharing a practice space is having such a terrible impact on our program. Who's got $30 million? CynicKing, if your ideas on how to make things better are so wonderful, where are they? The $35 million practice facility wasn't about making us viable, it was about making us world-beaters. It was posited to me by higher-ups in this university's administration that they've considered a $60 million convocation center. The practice facility idea was born out of the question "How do we take roughly half that money and make the program much better?" Is it a plausible idea? Not really, but we do have over $30 million to play with - let's not forget that the $25 arena fee goes for 25 years. ($25 x 2 semesters x 25 years x 24,000 full-time students [we haven't been under 24k for quite awhile, I just use it as a base]) A much smarter way to spend that money would be to take half of it and build and indoor track/soccer/baseball facility, eliminating the need for any of those sports to use the Klotsche Center (soccer doesn't already). Then spend another couple million building a baseball stadium; it doesn't have to be great, I'd be more than pleased with anything measurably better than Kapco. Then convert either the south end (eh) or north end (preferable) of the Klotsche arena space into a closed practice facility for basketball. Essentially one permanent wall would do it, but they could do it right and move the basketball offices up there, freeing the current basketball offices to be converted into bathrooms so the baseball coaching staff doesn't need to walk a quarter mile to go to the bathroom. Look, some of our best programs are the ones that don't use the Klotsche Arena often - baseball, soccer and swimming - it's not ridiculous to suggest that private, uninterrupted instruction and access to facilities 24/7 for individual training would be a major help to this program. I love McCafferty Trophies, I just want more.

I just want to know if anyone has a contact with Trek bikes? Especially since the beloved A.D. messed up the 13 year relationship with Andrew and the basketball coaches now have to make their own car deals. Keep cheering for Amanda! Really? And you give her credit for the McCafferty Trophy? Again, who gives a rats rectum about a McCafferty Trophy? I guess I missed the parade on Downer in celebration. Was there ticker tape? Amanda on a float? Give me a break, the department is a MESS !
