Is the inability to acknowledge that outside of a few piece meal projects, some small reconfigurations and the occasional new coat of paint. AFH went pretty much untouched for 50 years. That's why it's hard to give them any real credit for any work done there.
The $30 million they spent on the football stadium in the 90's was predominately to prevent the place from crumbling to the ground. The talked for years about a new track.
Again it just seems strange that everything takes so long and the projects are so relatively small on top of the fact they didn't even pay for Rock Chalk Park. For a place that supposedly has so many bazzillionaires with millions to give.
Rock Chalk park was done on the cheap as well. I got to see the full design evolution from initial conceptual design, to KU can't afford it so can the idea, to "we will pay for it since you can't," to new conceptual design, to actual final design. Everything was done as cheap as possible, but at least the have a dedicated facility on the opposite side of town from campus.
