They may have better resume of the past decade, but we have potential to be one of if not the best non-P5 program due to market size and a recruiting base.

NH Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I wonder when they would have announced this were it not for the Big East speculation. On one hand, I don't think this project really moves the needle for whether we would get invited to a new conference. Chaifetz remains a top tier arena, but if we're being honest SLU is still middle-of-the-pack when it comes top 100 D1 practice facilities. But if they were planning on making this announcement sometime in the coming months, it would have been foolish to delay given the ongoing conference realignment. In the ongoing arms race, upgrades like these aren't "transformational" as much as they are necessary. It is good to see SLU making the necessary investments (or better said, raise the necessary funds) to keep us at the table for high D1 athletics. And I think the benefits to non-basketball programs will be a big boost for SLU athletics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The soccer facility and student-athlete center we’re going to be announced together. They had to start construction on soccer facility to have it done on time. They delayed the big announcement til today. Unlucky timing. BuiltFordBills likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billikenfan05 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Everyone talks about mental health until they trash a dude online just trying to make it in the world. Carter is proud Billiken in the media, maybe we shouldn’t try to tar and feather him. That’s just my humble opinion though.

If his mental health can't withstand the super mild criticism in this thread, he probably needs to find a new career path. dlarry likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgeldmacher Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 If I am looking at the SLU campus map correctly, it looks like this is going to take up about 1/3 to 1/2 of the parking lot that sits adjacent to the arena. Am I correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
