Recruiting Auburn set to open brand new $28 million "recruiting center"

[Swamp Donkey]

Coaching turnover is expensive.

Being a bargain hunter sure pays!!!

The whole thing feels like a housing bubble. Heed '46's advice in his post earlier today.

Yeah, I heard. The next Great Recession, Bammer and those other fifty teams destroying us in facilities wont make it.

Just like the last Great Recession.

Which didnt affect them in the slightest.

Not wanting to start another thread....but UGA's $63 million stadium renovation is finishing up. And they have a brand new locker room:

Look: UGA Shows Off Incredible New Locker Room

Kirby Smart, entering his third year in Athens, has already given most Georgia fans more than they could have dreamed of. An incredible season that seemed like a fantasy had wins over Notre Dame, Florida, Auburn, and Oklahoma. This was just the beginning for the Dawgs though, as they added a No. 1 recruiting class and a new indoor practice facility.

The Bulldogs were a bit behind in the arms race of college football facilities during the Richt era, but with the indoor facility now completed, the Dawgs are upgrading even more. The West end zone of Sanford Stadium received a serious upgrade over the offseason, which included a new players locker room.

The new lockers feature more room, new carpet, a giant “Power G” wood logo on the ceiling and much more.

Sanford Stadium’s $63 million renovation project also includes a brand new scoreboard and recruiting space for Smart to continue his magical work. The scoreboard is 33% larger than the previous size and creates an upgraded gameday experience for fans.

This weekend, Georgia showed off its new locker room to players and recruits at an event Smart deemed “The Reveal.” Below, players and fans show videos of the new locker room, along with reactions to the masterpiece.

I wish I had a picture of the piece of crap dorm room I was in during my Freshman year. Football players were there too. A/C...no. Bathrooms in the dorm..no. Size of the place for two...tiny. Clean?...hadn't been painted in years. Free from roaches...no...we had roach night. It was right of passage. Rule for freshman...survive and get the hell off campus.

The timing was all wrong -- assuming you're not a big fan of Gator baseball. Just as they rose to the top, circumstances led to them needing a new home. The fallout from throwing a newly crowned CWS champion out on the street would have been enormous.

It wold have been very easy. "Look we are so proud of what the baseball team has done that we are building you a brand new $30M field to play on. Of course you'll have to be inconvenienced for a year while it's being built but you're going to love it!" Fvkc even I could have sold that.

It isnt printing. It is stop handing the money back to the university, to send it to god knows what. Maybe to the endowment.

But we are under great pressure to spend the damn endowment. These endowments are larger than the budget of many small Caribbean or African countries.

Hard to plead poverty when you have three BILLION or more in bank.

How is this not OBVIOUS?

82.8m revenue, 49.1m take-home, fourth-best profit margin in the SEC.

According to this story, Tennessee takes home 78.1m.

Every SEC football program's gross revenue for last fiscal year

Tennessee earns most that by moonshining - getting most their money by showing their azz.
