What about the indoor practice facility?????

[BDYZR]

My suggestions would be:

 

1) Definitely get someone to do a feasibility study.

2) Maybe set up a fund where people could donate specifically for that.

3) Absolutely don't build an "erector set" style stadium like UCF. They should look at Minnesota.

I wonder why no one else has thought of that?

Well we've covered it all here, easy stuff

How come we have not heard much about the indoor practice facility? Wondering if that is close to becoming a reality. I know a lot of us want and OCS, but I believe that we need to get the indoor facility built before we get the OCS. I cant think of anything else the athletics needs as it looks like Woolard has upgraded about every sport facility. What else is needed besided indoor facility and OCS. Dinning hall for atheltics? Isnt that already built? 

 

USF is waiting on you to donate a couple of mil.

Wouldn't it be cool if we have a retractable roof?

As long as it has A/C.

Hopefully with the new push to raise $1 billion total at USF, $14 million of that will go to an indoor facility.

 

Pretty sure that none of the fund raising money is going to Athletics.

 

 

That is not true.  Of the first $500+ million about $40 million was raised by athletics and is included in the totals.

"During the next half-decade, we will focus on creating new student scholarships, research and teaching support for our outstanding faculty, and enhancing the academic experience for all," said Momberg. "USF Health will focus on areas of strength, including cardiovascular treatment and research. For USF Athletics, the second phase will provide an opportunity to build on the successes of the first phase and create more scholarship funding for our wonderful student-athletes."

 

 More than 145,000 donors contributed to the Campaign's first phase under his leadership.

Just think, if each of those 145,000 would donate an extra $100 a year for the next 5 years...

 

Did any of you realize that Athletics writes a check to the University for the tuition of the athletes?  Just learned that recently.

they should. athletics gets a huge ($16M) subsidy from the school athletic fees.

Yes. That's how it is with most scholarships.

Hopefully the indoor practice facility gets built reasonably soon. It is a good small step for a possible on-campus stadium in the future,

if circumstances improve. It would also keep us competitive in recruiting and having more practice time than we otherwise might have.
