Indoor practice facility please

[WarFlamingo]

So as you hopefully know by now USF was granted 30 million dollars for the Big East name. This in my opinion should be spent immediately on an indoor practice facility for the football team. I cant even begin to describe the recruiting implications this would have on our program as it would separate us from the states major football powers. You want a on campus stadium this is the gateway, win fill up Ray Jay and the OCS is ours.Your thoughts?

Don't have a problem with an indoor facility but I don't think the moment is right...

 

Too many unknowns right now...Cash is King...Cancel Debt etc..entrance fee's  

 

If there was some stability and we were in a new stable  conference  my blessing...

 

Go Bulls

So your idea is to sit on our hands and hope we get picked up...No we have to make our athletics program more attractive to the ACC/Big 12

Push like hell to get out, use cash if necessary to sway votes..... Just saying

I don't think it's the right time to build an indoor practice facility either.

 

An IPF won't help sway recruits from the in-state 'power' schools and I don't think it will have any implications what-so-ever in us potentially being invited to another conference. The forces at work then will be "potential" & tv market (B12 - not going to happen) or needing to fill the void left by other teams departures (ACC). 

 

I really think we should use the funds to pay down as much athletic debt as possible and save the rest for future endeavors.

UCF has had an IPF for years....what has it done for them?

CUSA championship?

I believe debt repayment on our recent upgrades was highly dependent on projected income which is now off the table. I don't think we need to building anything when there is a chance the athletic department may be running on a deficit give our new revenue stream

Maybe you didn't watch football last year but that school to the north is getting pretty good

You act like debt matters paying off our debt doesnt do a thing to help this program. Won't matter anyways when our federal reserve blows up our economy imo
