so with the extra two million a year now does marrone get

how about build a football facility before giving a coach who has lost 7 in a row an extension. Beat Stony Brook and a few other bad Big East teams before there is any extension talk. I am not against an extension but ya know, win a few games first! lol
 
Who do you get rid of?

You're only allowed 9 assistant coaches on the staff.
They have lost 7 games in a row, and are looking to get back in the win column by beating a IAA team. I am sure there is one coach who is expendable!

We aren't remotely close to building a football facility. It's actually on the back burner. Give Marrone an extension first.

Yep. I had heard there was no money for it. Shelfed for now.

The practice facility has raised $5 million. They need $15 million in order to start building. Gross said on the radio this afternoon that the $17 million dollar TV contract doesn't include each schools local TV contracts. For the ACC that is $4-7 million a school. I would say we are on the upper end of that. The other conferences don't get to keep their local TV contracts, so the ACC contract may actually be more than the Pac 10 and Big 12. Now with the addition of Notre Dame, our number is going to rise again. This is huge compared to what we received from the Big East. We will also have much better options with regards to bowl games. ND can only help with bowl alignments.
 
to go out and buy the best special team coach out there.

Maybe they should go to all the local Wegmans with the allotment of all unsold tickets and give them away for free to fill the Dome. :D

I'll stay with what the I thought would happen last year. Anselmo will retire.

The money that has been raised so far has been earmarked for the locker rooms, coaches' offices and player lounges. It is not for a football facility.

There was architectual plans bouncing around the internet last spring. There's gotta' be some thought about it. G*d knows we need 'em. Why not do both? Use the extra ACC money and have a fund-raising drive and do both. An indoor facility would be fantastic, and you have to think that it would improve the product on the field, which would generate more money. It may not completely immediately pay for itself, but I would think that the increased revenue would take a bite out of that cost.

Obviously there is thought about it, but the football facility would need several huge donations to kickstart it. That hasn't happened.
 
I know for certain that SU was DAMN CLOSE to breaking ground on the football facility. It was supposed to mirror the Jets facility. I'm sure with the anticipated ACC cash influx on the horizon, the SU powerbrokers decided to shelve the project until our situation has stabilized a bit.

Not sure I agree with that, but I understand their thinking...

Then they NEED to start making calls :)

having a fancy, new indoor practice field would be HUGE
 
We already have an indoor facility ... it's called Manley.

It may not be 120 yards long, but it does the job for the time being.

All good things will come in time.
 
I dont think the actual field is that huge of a deal in recruiting. We have the Dome and Manley. I would put as much money as possible into two things.

1: Locker room meeting rooms lounge and coaches facilities.

2: Skytop apartments. I cant remember the number of times a recruit comes away loving Skytop. I would really put some coin into those.

Their first call will be to UEO. That's why we played at Metlife.

You're dead wrong on 2. A lot of recruits comment on loving the "apartment style living" when they leave campus. Also, I don't think students would be too happy if they renovated athletes apartments and not theirs, look what happened when they were given iPads.
