Cuse Announces $150M Fundraising Initiative to Create Unsurpassed Student-Athlete Experience:

[AZOrange]

I don’t see it that way. Lally donated the $25m seed money 2 years ago.

How many people donate 25mm without being supportive of the existing structure and staff in place. Babers has been intimately involved in the effort.

Hope the end of the article isn’t lost on people.

“As part of the vision for the Lally Complex transformation, the Department of Athletics is considering enhancements that include the creation of a new Football Operations Center; a One Team Center, which will be utilized by all of Syracuse University's Olympic sports teams; a student-athlete academic center to expand resources for academic support and professional and career development; updated dining and nutrition facilities; renovated locker rooms, medical training and strength and conditioning facilities; and modernized facades on the exterior of the complex.”

Mullen will be on board with this. Perfect timing.

Lol and y’all thought we couldn’t afford the Dino buyout

Syracuse with this announcement is trying to stay relevant.

We lose to Pitt and you can figure Dino will be canned.

As much as I think he should, I don't think Dino will be canned even with a loss to Pitt.

I agree though, that Syracuse wants to be a P5 school and is trying to stay relevant. So when the next conference realignment happens we aren't left on the outside looking in.

Does this commitment encompass the $7M donation from the Miron's back in November of '19 that was to go towards connecting the Barnes Center to the Dome? Or is that a separate project in addition to this?

Separate. And their donation wasn’t just for the walkway. It was for the libraries too and was seed money for the connection whose schedule has not been announced yet. They said eventually.

I’m not sure you spend that much money and retain a coach who would have 5 losing seasons out of 6.

If Dino wins Saturday he stays for one more year.

Either way, very glad to have this addition. We most certainly need the football headquarters.

Hopefully they connect the arch with the dome too like originally talked about

Usually they don't go public with these campaigns unless they've raised at least half the total already.

University put the 25 mil the Lally's gave into Bitcoin during the dip last year. Wizards of finance.

 

[DPCuse]

Debt will no doubt fill the shortfall on the fundraising if this drags out. The ACC distributions could feed the general university’s debt service requirement on that obligation.

How can you donate?

You finally going to bring back all the empty beer bottles in your basement?

If I had it, I would. If I had Wiestman/Lally money, my name would be on everything from the buildings to the bidets. There would be a hologram of my face and smoke, like the powerful Wizard of Oz, every time Tucker scored a TD. I would literally be the most eccentric/annoying booster of all time. Pray I never hit the mega ball. I would haunt your dreams.

After consulting with my life coach, clergy and media influencers, I can say with unalloyed enthusiasm: I respect their decision.
This is vital for the athletic success of the University of Syracuse.

 

[kcsu]

The article mentions that the envisioned complex will include an “athletics village.” That might imply the construction of new dorms for the athletes although that is open to interpretation.

Dorms are the most important. Kids make decisions based on living conditions.

I thought this was a fundraising effort, AKA the school wants to spend other people's money. Not sure what you mean by "WE couldn't afford the buyout".

They dont

It wouldn't help, Their is no bottle deposit in Georgia.

I doubt we ever see phase 2 to the Dome. They already spent $120 million and now another $150 million. You can’t say SU is going on the cheap. These are major investments for the athletic program. I originally heard $100 million, so $150 million is a lot of money. Kudos to the Board of Trustees for their long term vision. We have to make sure we have coaches in place to meet these expectations moving forward.

 

[TheCusian]

It's bigger than coaches, I wouldn't read into it that way or another.

I can see it now - The "Nahson Pee through".

Have seen the plan and have pictures. Will be great for all student-athletes.

Pay side strikes again...
