Kids are always going to be drawn to the newest bells and whistles, and will expect both, great facilities and to be paid top dollar to sign there. Programs like Kansas or Northwestern, having out of world facilities will allow them to bring in better players as long as the money is there to keep paying them.

- Start date
That's gotta make Leipold happy.
What a good coach and a $300 mil donation can do for one's program. Like what's his face . . . um, Pickens? . . . at OSU.
Don't have a clue what can be done about spending. How does the NFL handle equity, does it attempt to make it so?
Money in college football doesn't seem much different to me than Citizen's United. But, I could just be ignorant about if there are parallels.

Confirmed: New radio booths at KU are in the end zone corner...
...and it's just TV broadcast and coaches' booths at midfield.
I'm jealous. Since the season we erected the north end zone scoreboard on erector-like legs, I've though we could do better.
On the outside of those two jungle-gym like uprights attach concrete panels to give it a cool, finished look in the style of concrete found elsewhere in the stadium.
Too expensive, no doubt, when many other updates needed. But imho those legs and the press box says something other than P4.
I'm grumbling, can't afford it, that's just the way it is.
Some doofus gives KU $300 mil. Christ on a bicycle (is this profane? I won't use it again if it is. I'm getting it from Brit tv).

So this is what rich people build when their kid gets bullied at a private school.
It's a prep school so our tax dollars are going to this thing? Damn that's.... interesting. All I'll say about that.
Now that you say that, I'm sure they are since it's considered a private school. I bet very few of those kids, if any, are actually from Iowa. Enrollment can't be much though.
That has to be the best high school facility in the country when they're done though, right? They mentioned in the video about building an arena for home games on top of this facility. I know nothing about the people building it other than they have something to do with medical supplies.
Jack Trice wrote in his letter, "I will!"
The We Will Collective for Iowa State used this as the inspiration for their name.
Don't know exactly why/when KU uses "We Will" for athletics. May be related to Adidas like someone else said. I'm not familiar with the connection myself. I just hope it means that KU fans buy some We Will frozen pizzas by mistake
I would think the angle from there would be brutal.
TCU football opens first 'Snow Room' in North America. And it's not just a decoration.

Updated look at the UNI-Dome. Still more signage and branding to be added as we go through the fall but Phase 2.1 is all but wrapped up. Phase 2.2 (new restrooms, renovating current restrooms, new video boards/sound system) begins construction in March. Finishing fundraising for Phase 3 (new West entrance/concourse, renovating East Concourse, replacing the track) which they hope to have done during the summer of '27.
