Here is what I know (2nd hand - somewhat long)

Northwestern, a small (19,000 students, grad & undergrad) private university who hadn't won a bowl game in 63 years just announced they have raised$55 million of the $220 million needed to build an on-campus lakefront facility that will benefit nearly all Northwestern students, especially those who play football.


It certainly doesn't hurt at Northwestern when they have an endowment of $7.19 billion dollars which I'm sure makes it easier to proceed with building $220 million facility with only 25% raised.
 
Pitt has had theirs since 2000 how many more BE titles than us have they had since then?
UNC opened in December of 2001
Louisville has had theirs since 2006
Duke's opened in September 2011
GA Tech broke ground in January 2011
Clemson broke ground in May 2012
FSU broke ground in November 2012
UVA hopes to have theirs completed for Spring FB 2013
BC does not have one
Miami does not have one
NC St does not have one
Virginia Tech does not have one
Wake does not have one

SU needs to improve facilities. There is no question about that. But let's not pretend like we are the only school that does not have one and that we should be using the school's general fund to cover it when schools like FSU did not.

It's a little warmer in Tallahassee.

Boeheim has publically stated that it's no coincidence that SU hoops has been at it's sustained best since the Melo Center opened. It's been 2 years since I did it so I understand there have been some upgrades, but the difference b/t the Melo Center and Manley football then was large.

I was replying to the question "Which ones?"... as in which ACC programs don't have an indoor practice facility.
