Message: [QUOTE="cto, post: 466276, member: 412"] You have no clue as to what you are talking about. The school/trustees would love to build a new football practice facility....as soon as the football program raises a certain percentage of the money needed for it. This is exactly how the Melo facility was built...and how Newhouse III was built ... and how the new law school is being built. The school committed to neither ... until the money was raised. This is how athletic facilities on most campuses are built...they are mainly funded by substantial private donations. For an example close to home, look at the football facility and soon-to-be-built basketball facility at UConn -- both funded by private donations. When Doug talks about fan support ... he is in part talking about the extreme difficulty in raising the money that the program needs to build necessary facilities. [/QUOTE]
