cheeseman Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Not sure what you expected but this what all big time programs have so if you want to be big time you have to do these things. Not sure what I expected but any amenities upgrade or addition is important to our long term growth of the athletic program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But most schools don't hype it up for a week to announce, they just do it. almaman, TheChosenOne, bauman and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 This is an important and necessary step forward for the program. I wish the news were more exciting, but am glad they're doing this nonetheless. I don't know why they hyped it up the way they did. Seems like an e-mail before the presentation would've been fine. bauman and TheChosenOne like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseman Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 When the school doesn't hype something then they get criticized and when they do they get criticized. I can assure you that at MO they would have done the same thing. Zink, RUBillsFan, slufanskip and 2 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A10Ref Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 You gotta do these things to get more donors to give... I for one am happy and think this is a pretty big step in the right (Big East) direction. NextYearBill, Zink and Adman like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3star_recruit Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Our Multimillionaire donors are not the most compelling speakers. But I think it would be rude for us to tell them to shut up and give us your money. CBFan likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgstl Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Where exactly is this going. I saw "by baseball and softball fields, close to the arena". Not very clear.

cgeldmacher Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 If the student athletes don't live at this place, are we really expecting them to walk to it to get a smoothie? I hope it is near enough to where all of the athletes are living that they use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be somewhere in between where they live and Chaifetz...I don't think it will be challenging to get them there. cgeldmacher likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
