Awesome. Love the Fords, Dedmans, Hunts and Sewells, etc. they have definitely shown the love to SMU but I absolutely love the fact that the lead donor is a new name to the program!
At the dinner last night for CM and the football program, CM and Dr T spoke about the IPF. CM said a lot of things about the IPF, facilities etc. and the reality of today's world, recruiting and recruits. He said, stop talking about Big12 expansion etc., no one is calling until we have the facilities ... even with the W's. The facilities drive the recruits ... the one's you want. How many pairs of cleats do we get (what kind), how many pair of gloves, uni's ... what do they look like, IPF, weight room etc. No longer good enough to have OK, or even good.
They said the project has been approved, now getting founding. It will be at the soccer field, and the soccer facility will move to the old/current Inter fields. At the event last night somebody (not sure who) wrote a check for $2.5mm toward the effort.

Can a soccer field surrounded by a track fit on the IM fields?

So when do they expect the 100 million dollar upgrade to Ford to begin, to bring it up to Big 12 facility standards?
