FSU announces $65 million stand-alone football facility

[jhbyrd]

Wouldn't the State Gov be committing fraud dishing out taxpayers' funds for stadium expansions ?
Those are bottomless pockets. So, there should never be much of a hold up on starting expensive constructions --
except for the generic holdup that most Govment expenditures are.??

Actually they are not bottomless. Illinois is moving in the bankruptcy direction as we speak. Municipalities can go bankrupt. They have huge underfunded pension plans around their necks.

Puleez? You see my hackneyed term "bottomless pockets" as needing response but skip addressing the "case for fraud" subject ?

All this might make some sense if we werent making about 120-140 million on football each year and spending about one sixth of that one football.

If baseball wants a 50 million stadium then they shouldnt lose 1 mil per year. Go convince someone to watch the games.

FSU chem-majors are working on liquid combinations for an Air-Wick device using odors of peanuts, hotdogs, cotton candy and elephant dung. Osceola sez Renegade is made hot to trot breathing this.

The Government doesn't go bankrupt. They may declare bankruptcies. The only variable is who gets the haircuts and how much will taxes be raised to keep the status quo.

Lawyers like Donkey passed Title IX not Foley. Title IX forces this. If you do stuff for the men you have to do stuff for the women. Stricklin spoke about it. There are rules and UF follows the rules.

So what you are saying that because of a law passed in 1972 is the reason that Foley personally loved LaCrossee and has wanted it (regardless if male or female) since before he was AD? The argument you are making, isn't a valid one. It's a deflection at best.

Cali, Illinois, NY, Nj, many others really have no other alternative.

No it is the law. We have to build facilities for women also. Each school picks the women's sports that they think will work for them.

You dont have a fvkking clue what you are talking about, as always.

You telling me Trailerbammer is illegally failing to field a lacrosse team or illegally putting their football money into football?

Dont bother answering (deflecting). I really dont care to read more of the feces that flows from you.

Again, what does that have to do with the fact that Foley considers it his crowning achievement bring the sport of Lacrosse to UF? Are you just arguing to argue? Because you aren't making any points that are about the point in question.
