slufan13 Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 What are the chances that this announcement lives up to the hype that the school/athletic department are giving it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My expectation is that it’s going to be a pretty substantial building project. I also think that were it not for the Big East tease, we would look at this as a pretty huge deal. I have jokingly said that for every tweet today building this up, I add an extra $5 million to my expectation for the cost of the facility.

If it is going to be an athletic facility that is only matched by programs in the P5 conferences for their non football sports, it will live up to the hype. Everything I have heard leads me to believe that this facility will top that of any athletic program not in the SEC, PAC 12, Big 12, ACC and Big 10. It will be better than what any Big East member currently has. That seems like a huge deal and huge recruiting advantage for all the university's athletic teams going forward.

I think it all hinges on what people think that looks like. It’s all about what people are building in their heads. Ultimately that is what it’ll come down to as to wether or not you’re let down.

This is what I was thinking as well. I remember reading about Kentucky's new housing facility for basketball players (now 9 years old) and thinking how ridiculous it was. Private chef and bathrooms designed with 7-footers in mind. I'm sure this is more common nowadays even among the non-blue bloods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
