Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 4060233, member: 628"] I continue to believe that facilities just need to be good enough. I mean, that’s great that Kansas has apartments that look like the Waldorf-Astoria, but that’s not why a top 50 recruit is going there. I don’t think think high school athletes are terribly different in their perspective than other high school kids. The primary draws of college are program status (athletics or academics), staff quality (coaches, professors), culture and fit. In my experience, facilities are the cost of entry — if they’re on par, then decisions are made based on those primary draws. There was a point where SU was not remotely on par with peer schools in terms of facilities. I think we cleared that hurdle a while ago. Now it’s about maintaining and expanding, which sadly past ADs were utterly negligent in doing. [/QUOTE]
