Pollard: big announcement coming soon
- Thread starter JP4CY
- Start date
The slides they showed tonight did include a hotel and conventions center by Scheman (but not tearing it down). The bigger things were 3,600(?) parking places going in on the other side of University and an elevated walkway connecting those to Jack Trice. The whole area between Hilton and Jack Trice getting redone with an entertainment plaza (sort of like the P&L district) and still some parking.
Other side of University? Grass lot area? because otherwise that is the intramural area that is getting totally redone.
There will be parking in the middle of those fields plus I believe expanded lot behind them towards the golf course.
I was assuming they were talking about something new though, those are already in the plan/works.
Can you change his name? There is another poster who is a decent poster that this dork tweaked his name and now ticks people off on the good guy.
Yeah I noticed that, there is another one with an almost identical name that has been around a long time, and a lot of posts, that is not this same D bag.
Not a chance. AD does great on football, MBB and WBB but I think only really cares about men's cross country among the non-revenue sports. And maybe with our budget that needs to be the way but sad for me as I follow a number of the minor sports. Feels like volleyball is a little bit of a fading star compared to, say, five years ago.
The big announcement is that we’re annexing the School Out East, and they will now be known as ISU-IC.
Fixed that for you. This board likes to pat itself on the back because our WBB attendance isn't dog crap like it is at most schools, but our WBB program doesn't turn a profit. Even UConn loses money on WBB.
The big announcement is Jamie is unblocking all of you from twitter. Enjoy.
Turning a profit is the primary metric of the AD doing great in non-revenue sports? Like you said, even UConn loses money. Is UConn AD not doing great at WBB?
JP’s best attribute is stability imo. We needed someone to go long on ISU athletics. He’s done that.
I'm just saying that for something to be a big announcement in it needs to be about one of the two revenue programs. The other programs don't really matter here, nor do they really matter anywhere else either.

Hopefully announcing a retractable roof over Jack Trice....
They're doming Jack Trice so we never have another weather delay again.
