Message: [QUOTE="javadoc, post: 3151976, member: 338"] Something happened recently that surprised and alarmed me. We have been hearing for years that prospects wouldn't take us seriously because we didn't spend enough on facilities (because that's what really matters, right? but I digress). Throughout, though, I thought our housing was a positive. We had athletes living in nice places apart from the regular dorms, or some such. So then we get an IPF, we're getting Dome upgrades, and along comes this recent $25M donation. And a former player (I think, also appearing in this thread) says that the money is sorely needed because our athlete housing is a contributing factor to poor recruiting with top prospects. What? So what is the story? Is there anything we have that isn't a negative? Are we simply too far behind in the preposterous arms race that we are essentially sunk? [/QUOTE]
