A Message From Scott Stricklin - Florida Gators

"We also had a groundbreaking ceremony (pictured below) for the new Florida Ballpark in February, with a projected cost of $65 million. If you've driven by Hull Road lately, you can see the steel coming up out of the ground as we progress to the anticipated June 2020 completion date. Meanwhile, design and construction planning continues for the projected $85 million Florida Football Training Center"

We gotta get this thing done folks!

A Message From Scott Stricklin - Florida Gators

“This year has been one of the most successful fundraising years in Gators Athletics history, with over $60 million given and pledged for only the second time in Gator Boosters history. We are so appreciative of the generosity of Gator Nation, and our student-athletes and coaches are counting on this continued level of support to help us reach our $155 million goal for Phases 1-3 of our Facilities Master Plan.”

So, in one of our best years fund raising (presumably because football improved) we can’t get the football facility started without reaching that addition commitments.

This is enraging. It is the same UAA that thinks we don’t see the implication that we are f’king idiots.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

you gave us 60 million and we spent it on baseball and softball.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

The frustrating thing is, while we continue plead to poverty, 125ish of the Div 1 schools, many of whom built football facilities 10-15 years ago, would need a special fundraising campaign of 60 mil or more JUST TO GET TO OUR BASELINE OF 130 mil a year.

About 2025 after the delays....maybe.

A new coach or two and three good recruiting classes and we should be back in the hunt by 2029 or 2030.

What the fvkk have they been doing w baseball anyway? Why are we two years into this and it is still 1 year away? It is a fvkking basevall field and some stands. How long could it possibly take?

$15m on softball.

$15m on softball.

Think of how many 5* recruits Saban and the dwags could buy for $15M. Oh wait a minute, I guess you just have to look at their rosters to get some sort of an idea of how that would turn out.

 

[neteng]

... ON SOFTBALL!

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Honestly, I dont care. We are one of the three richest programs every year for thirty years.

JUST GIVE US FOOTBALL FACILTIES RIGHT DAMN NOW TOO!

It is just funny that they want us to have the bestest biggest mostest shiniest most highly coach etc in every sport.... but football.

So, on the bright side, they’re now saying we’ll spend $85M on the football facility up from the $65M quoted earlier. Let’s hope they honor that.

It's the same exact project. The price is higher based on all the delays. If they push it back one more time it'll cost $100 million.

Yeah, I got that. I was wondering since the baseball stadium got bumped up $10M if the football facility would also. The question is though did it get $20M better or just inflation from 2000's dollars when they started promising the damn thing.

 

[YLGator]

That doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. How does a 1 year delay add $20M to the cost? That’s a 30% increase.

Tariffs.

Actually possible.

Foley collecting a salary until it's done.

I will eat Assquash's shorts if it isnt delayed for "another year" several more times.
