Why is K-State too poor and irrelevant to build one of these facilities for themselves?

Because as you stated before, this type of facility is unnecessary and money is better spent on facilities that bring higher margins.  You know....better for business.   :kstategrad:

K-State's football facilities are a joke compared to other legit football programs.  You guys need to relocate your entire stadium and take out the harley track before anyone takes you seriously.

It's like Day 5 of the Captain Butthurt rampage.

That was a very butthurt comment and has nothing to do with the conversation as a whole.  I hope our announcement April 26th doesn't push you over the edge Beems.

We do need to add room for Big 12 title banners/bowl win banners.  I will admit that much

I'm just so happy the McCarthys and other generous members of Jayhawk Nation have made this dream of luxury living possible for so many kids from impoverished backgrounds, as well as 30 lucky rich kids who will be co-habitating with them.  It is from all of us and is our gift to future Jayhawk Generations.

It is very nice of them.  I feel like Beems should be happy they got this thing going after begging so long for it instead of taking shots at K-State.

Like I said, unless K-State plans on relocating the stadium and digging it out of the hole in the ground that it currently occupies, there's nothing that could be considered anything more than putting lipstick on a pig.  Meanwhile, KU will be adding to the already ridiculous gap that exists between us and the rest of college basketball.

one would think players would flock to play at the birthplace of basketball w/o the need to build something this dumb.

Is this a dorm where the players are able to bash their gf's against the sink without anyone seeing? Is that why this thing is going in? :confused:

It's been like two weeks since the budget committee blocked the bond request, and KU already has a private donor financing phase 1 of the project.  K-State would be holding a bakesale and praying to God that one of its fans won the lottery if it was in the same situation.

Man, just wait until Friday's announcement...

Yes, it was.

$7M is pretty good, kudos to them. Sucks to be one-upped.

Are they finally going to relocate the stadium and remove the harley track?

There was enough money contributed to capital athletic projects at K-State in FY 2013 to finance that entire dorm right out of the gate and have $5 million left over.

Kentucky's Wildcat Coal Lodge cost $7 million, and it's really nice.  KU raised that less than 10 days after the KS budget committee denied our bond request.  KU will soon have the best athletic housing facility in college basketball.

We went 12-1 and won a BCS bowl with worse facilities than what we have now.

ku has been fund raising for this a lot longer then that, otherwise they wouldn't even have attempted to get the Regents and thus the legislature to approve the project with partial bond financing.

Ben, that $7m was already privately committed which is why the building was submitted to the state in the first place.  It's not like KU reached out after it was denied and McCarthy was like "oh, here is $7m."  I'm assuming you know this and are just trolling.
