Message: [QUOTE="anomander, post: 2294813, member: 2766"] I think if you're smart about where they invest they will be fine. Our facilities were seriously lacking before 2012. I mean bottom of the barrel FCS level bad. At least now we have the important stuff. The IPF was needed, not only because most schools have one at this point, but for it's actual use (crazy right, an expensive part of the facility actually being useful). I do think they could deck it out with some murals and color relatively cheap to snazz it up a bit. I also think the University should invest in the medical facilities. That shouldn't require private money. Get some cool stuff in there like underwater treadmills, and stuff like that. They did a great job renovating the team meeting room, and I believe they did the position ones as well? Those were well done. The Manley locker room isn't embarrassing. It definitely doesn't have the bells and whistles, but all that is pretty unnecessary. Just make sure you hook up the individual lockers with electronics, etc. The lounge area is kind of cheap looking, but I think that could be made over pretty inexpensively. Get rid of the cheap carpet and put in some school colors. Add a couple game stations, arcade games, and basically just pimp it out like a man cave on cribs and you add a lot for relatively little. That really doesn't leave much? The entrance to Manley is extremely well done. It does a great job of showing off our past and getting history of our program across in a way 16-18 year old kids can relate too. Hell you can even get crazy and add a nap room just by throwing in some leather recliners and beds. Throw in some school colors and all of a sudden it looks like you have some bells and whistles. The last part is the nutrition center. I also think the University should foot the bill for that. Our weight room could use some expanding. That would require some fundraising, but if they could expand that, and have the University add in a station with all sorts of nutritional needs you all of a sudden have some pretty great facilities. We're not that far off. Just have to spend wisely. [/QUOTE]
