facilities arms race topic

They finally win a conference championship in a revenue sport and get all hoity toity

 

No I just don't like this (which has been plastered all over the internet but I don't watermark so I guess that's my bad)

 

They are team colors at least

 

Oh and very clean as well.

 

In all honesty it's actually pretty funny because the location was the north bowl which was mainly ksu people so we all used those and I'm sure ku fans got toilets

 

As ever gracious hosts we give the opponents the nicer bathrooms

 

Someone has never had the joy of using the restrooms in the glorious Rice Stadium

Plastic port a cans would be a huge upgrade

 

Sounds like we're gonna spend another ~450 mm on the stadium. Going to upgrade everything and build an entirely new south end of the stadium. Goddamn it if we don't win it won't be for a lack of spending close to a goddamn billion dollars on facilities in the first half of the 2020s to make it happen.

 

There are probably kids all over Nebraska not reading at a third grade level who could use that money.

 

We have excellent public schools and don't use any of our school money on sports because we're not poor.

 

So there are no kids in the state who could use that money? Interesting.

 

You don’t have to read a book to know how to harvest alfalfa. Don’t yuck our yum, plz

 

Texas is #35 in public school education. Nebraska is #7. Nevertheless you see very large football stadiums at high schools in Texas. Curious.

Buddy you will never see me advocating for the way we spend money here.

 

What I'm saying is we wouldn't know what it's like to have to choose between spending money on public education and spending money on football. We just do both because our penises are huge and girthy.

 

Yeah but what’s your state’s position on the border crisis

 

This list also says Florida is #1 in education…

 

With that said, never underestimate the desperate actions of a once great program dying to be relevant again.

 

I guess I just wonder if a progrum that is not good and probably never will be again couldn’t find another way to spend these American dollars.

 

^ fan of non-B1G team clearly. What good is conference money if you don't spend it?

 

If it makes the thread feel better our AD often sends millions of dollars back to the university for funding as well. Because I know that's what you are all concerned about.

 

It will be interesting in twenty years or so to see how these unis spend this completely unearned and unnecessary tv money. Im guessing it won’t be a pretty picture.

 

I still want justification for tuition and fees

 

I'm just happy we're not robbing childrens hospitals or doing welfare fraud to put in new urinals ya know

 

As far as you know

 

Wonder if they got a discount for using the same design as Baylor’s shithole

 

Not that far off

 

True. Those are some huge turds

 

In two weeks KU officially starts phase one construction replacing the west side + north bowl. Also adding a building connected to the north bowl.

Only 30 years late..

 

All the poors that have had their seats inbetween the 20's for decades while not increasing booster donations has pissed off a bunch of poors cause they're being relocated. The the new club level construction starts soon along with our Football Only Facility

 

We have the same problem. All of our olds complain they don’t get to keep the 50 yard line front row seats they’ve had since 1975 while donating $200 / year yet they are the first to complain about everything.

 

ours are the same except at least we get $1300 out of them.

 

I think it’s funny how EMAW always acts like there is such a huge rivalry. I’ve just never really seen it outside of being in the same state. Sure I guess it’s good natured like you make fun of your little brother but I’ve always seen our real rival as Mizzou.

 

I think it’s probably like Texas thinks about aTm the more I think about it.

 

Shots fired

 

35k seats? That’s all they need?

 

Their biggest crowd this year was 25k for PSU but they often fill it for Iowa, Nebraska, OSU, etc. so a little surprising that it's that low.

 

I mean from literally nowhere but whatever I guess

 

Shouldn’t the B1G demand higher capacity than fucking 35k? That’s not even a decent HS stadium in Texas.

 

They can demand whatever they want, but that’s just going to be more empty seats to show on tv.

 

Sounds like KU's going to play a handful of games @ Arrowhead next year.
