madkat7 233 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 ...There is only 1 small bathroom though...😎 In all seriousness, we're approaching the point of absurdity with these facilities arms races. I realize that it is imperative to garner the attention of premium athletes, but this moves us further and further away from the purpose of the educational institution. I'd also love to see that money (yes I realize that it's mostly from private donations to the athletic program) used for the betterment and education of the student population as a whole rather than a few pampered athletes. Don't get me wrong, I love my football, but it is getting to the point of needing some serious scrutiny in the context of it's importance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerOne 1,148 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 yeah first glance its impressive, but kind of silly. Just another gimmick. Auburn's is just as nice without the beds but does seem cramped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't agree.....first this is a proposal...probably will happen but LSU getting laughed at nationally for spending the money....and JMO but they better have a team to match it. JMO but this is what teams/schools do when they a feeling second class... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all silliness IMO. I'm just seeing the humor in it. The country, & world in general, is spiraling out of control and stuff like this is a small example of how ridiculous we're getting. As I get older (not to mention the new perspective that was thrust upon me over the last 12 months) I'm just ready for football. I'll let others with the time & inclination wring their hands over bathrooms, locker rooms & that kind of stuff. I'll just sit right here....

JMO but this is what teams/schools do when they a feeling second class... What? LSU unveiled this thing a week ago. Parents/players, etc were touring on the 24th. LSU's new AD just announced that the AD will cut their annual contributions to Academics by more than half what they've given academics over the past 5 yrs. LSU's AD gave $50MM over 5 yrs to Academics and Woodward just cut that down to +/-$4MM/yr. https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/multimedia/photos/collection_77106798-ae5c-11e9-92bc-9fa1c006867a.html#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boisnumber1 2,819 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 All that $ spent and they will spend millions to renovate in what 7-8 years? I suppose the team likes it, but those loungers look like purple Dennys furniture to me. Its silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
