Where did you get that $30M for an office building from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do the part that actually impacts football players when you have $10 million? Hold out for the other $30 million for the offices. Again, I don't know the actual allocation of funding. I'd still be pissed if they are sandbagging... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean they can get started on it? 4 hours ago, usf97 said: Originally Harlan spoke of starting the football portion for $10 million and the offices and others portions could be built in a 2nd phase. Kelly has since said he wasn’t interested in doing it in 2 phases and said we would have to do it all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think the 2nd phase was just office space. Pretty sure football is looking for its own gym space, meeting rooms and physical therapy/treatment in addition to offices for the staff.

Miami is spending 34MM on theirs and Houston is spending 20MM on theirs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gym/weight room that doesn't have to be shared? Meeting rooms and therapy/treatment facilities? I'm guessing those help. There would be no sharing of the current weight room.

I think it's more of a recruiting tool. My guess. I could go on a whole diatribe against this but won't. However, I had a very successful club basketball team out here that had no amenities. Just dirt, sweat, scrapes and bruises. Worked out good for them with a handful playing D1 NCAAB. We won't win an arms race, we should know that.
