I'm all for shutting down your thread. It is good to know what our opponents are attempting. I countered the untrue FSU parts on this Gator site like the quote above. Plus I pointed out that their location makes their building more expensive to build.
FSU's building will not be done three years before ours. They simply do not have the donations yet and FSU's President is rightfully worried about their debt levels entering a recession as they are more leveraged than UF. FSU's debt picture is relevant to this project.
UF has time involved with removing our baseball field to make the UF football complex more efficient. FSU's football center site is thinner than UF's and more expensive to build on.
UF will wait for the new baseball stadium to be completed which frees up the best land to begin construction on our football center. FSU construction will be delayed as they try to get more donations from their fans who they have already been hitting up for donations.

Fair treatment for the coach who just brought UF its first baseball national championship in UF history who is giving up his prime campus real estate to help out another sport.
Bulldoze the baseball stadiumtodayyesterday and build the f'ng all-in-one now. And make it the biggest in the country.

Football is paying for that stadium. He should be thankful.
Why does baseball need prime real estate anyway? For the dozens and dozens of fans that go to games?

Excellent strategy. Does that strategy work on Donkey? The Nole lovers can take it from here as I made my points.

Ok, my turn.
Byrd, you’re argument could be continued, and seemingly is, indefinitely. Your rational is that it’s better to delay football-only facilities to even better our position financially. With that logic, What’s your next strategy...wait longer?
With you there is no right time.
Oh, and you lost me on the but, but, but it’s not fair to our baseball coach to give up his prime real estate.

Horesh!t.
Baseball facility could’ve been relocated long, long ago

Wrong take. I want it built asap. Long ago UF shoe horned baseball next to football. Bad decision. No room to grow. Under the new plan they bothave have enough land to grow.
Although I want the new football center built asap I respect the UAA not throwing baseball under the bus. Under the new plan, baseball is sent to a less desirable location. In the end football gets the best of this deal and room to grow. Best long term decision for both programs expansion wise.

They did not think long growth term originally. People normally think short term and just fix up the current location chosen over 5 decades ago. This time they are thinking long term growth.

Again, this is horsesh!t.
A decision couldn’t have been made LONG AGO to relocate b-ball??
So happy we have new admin with these bold new ideas
