Awww... those are some cute little numbers. You guys might finally be able to compete with the big boys someday. BTW, I have no idea what the hell you're talking about with the "certain school down the road" building facilities that 99% of the students will never set foot in. Kansas is adding on four more basketball courts, additional weight room space, a full-size track, virtual golf, and more raquetball courts to the student rec center. I'd say that benefits about 99% of the students on campus.
You must be referring to the women's rowing team getting approval for a brand new boat house. The football team's already got a $31 million football facility on the way and the basketball team is getting another $15 million for improvements to Allen Fieldhouse. With the kind of football season Kansas is having, I expect the money to just keep rollin' in.
I see ku is keeping up w/ another school that already has virtual golf (and a very nice real golf course - top 10 collegiate course by Golf Digest), plus this...
http://www.k-state.edu/yesrec/...which will still have KSU students paying less for similar things than the students at ku do/will.
Larger budget numbers do not = better management and efficiency.
Yes, we have improvements to the Bram about to wrap up. These improvements will bring in more cash. Also KSU has $45 million worth of improvements on the way for b-ball and football.
It's nice that ku is finally catching up...I guess.
