Facilities

Postby Pony_Fan » Sun Jan 09, 2011 11:27 am

Other than not having a IPF, how do our current facilities stack up against Baylor, Texas State, A&M, Houston, Rice, etc?

Weight room, locker rooms, meeting rooms, practice fields, etc...

Sterling Moore posted this on his FB page a while back - overview of Missouri - pretty cool facility

I don't know about the others, but we are way ahead of Texas State.

And ahead of Rice and Houston....understand Houston is trying to raise $ for facilities. UH intermural athletic facilities are new (2004) and are great and the Natatorium is well thought of.

SMU has very good facilities from what I have seen but could definetly use an IPF, Circle of champions get to work.

Based upon recent events, one can assume that the problem lies with Turner.

comparing state schools to private schools is not a real fair comparisons. ND, SC and Miami being the exception

I think the distincion is more BCS vs non BCS. Its about a 6M swing per year if you never even go to a bowl.

And university support. Without Turner's backing for a practice facility, money is useless.

I highly doubt that money is the issue. Given SMU's recent history, financial support has been far easier to attain than Turner's support.
