The head coach of Arkansas State makes $800k while people at USF get paid $2.7 million to not coach. Our budget is littered with over expenditures on pretty much every line for the money we bring in, Arkansas State is more aware of their station and can then sometimes buy a nicer house where as we blow all of our money on experiences.

This isn’t about money.  Of course, it’s apples and oranges between USF and UF.  My point was some feel they’re not doing it because of the optics of spending millions on sports while Universities are dealing with budget shortfalls.  Apparently they don’t feel that way in Gainesville.

And we should not feel that way either. If the money is there they need to get the thing going...bad PR comes and go and frankly the way USF football is followed I suspect no one will know or really care.

USF ADs paying coaches who are no longer employed

My prediction is that there will be an announcement next month (March) and that we break ground in June.

I am with you on that. No way CJS let’s this go on before the next recruiting cycle...I think

The final issue is, will it be an actual facility, or a virtual facility.

Cool. UCF just hired a guy who, after a simple Google search, has been crushing it at Ark. State. I’m sure we’ll keep pace and break ground on our IPF sometime in 2021...or 20210. You know, whatever after our next study deems appropriate.
