Don't forget that as of right now, our next phase is not on the list, and these lists can be amended with Regents approval (it's pretty much a rubber stamp), so that project and our project could start sooner, or it could start later.   That said, the list is generally pretty accurate in terms of time line.

Does it still have to be approved by the BoR if it is privately funded? WSC was privately funded so I have to assume that the Vanier project will be too.

I'm like financially dumb. I can't find the document. I find a bunch about our Memorial getting redone, but not there's. :(

Yes, all projects undertaken by KBOR schools must be approved by the Regents regardless of funding source.   

Also, I had a type-o on the Regents Capital Projects Report, it's Report DA 418A rev:11/1/2013

You know what? I know what that comment means because I've heard it in context enough, but don't really know what it means....or rather where it came from. I'd assume Huckleberry Fin, but I never read the book.

Just put 5 $100 bills in an envelope, wrote "Landon" on it and set it aside in case K-state loses to ku.

I think the winner should give the money to that Sims fella.. Doesn't really matter when because there really aren't any wins that the NCAA could take away but that kid deserves something 

I am afraid that would violate the NCAA regulations though I really doubt the NCAA even knows ku has a football team.

you are not getting a new stadium........FYI ku is telling the Regents and the Regents planning and facilities office
that it will be FY 2017 before work begins on Memorial Stadium...also, you don't have the funding, yet.

It's available on KBOR Capital Budget Plan DA 418A . . . Memorial Stadium
Improvements Phase One- currently slated for FY 2017 ($5,000,000) FY 2018
(25,000,000) FY 2019 (20,000,000)
Total Estimated Cost: $50 million.   Funding
Source: TBD

sad, really .....
No it isn't.  Sad really.  You can doa  search for "418A" and scroll through until you see the one for University of Kansas if anyone actually cares.

All this really means is we have donors to pay for a lot of our stuff and don't have to suck on the Regents' tit for everything

.

I do enjoy posts like this, but first off, a hearty LOL at Dr. J. thinking I post over there.

But once again, it shows that your typical phogtuck doesn't understand how it all works.   The State of Kansas (KBOR) hasn't funded an athletics facilities project at K-State since Ahearn Fieldhouse was built 60 years ago.    When athletic departments at KBOR issue bonds the Regents merely approve the process and it's worked through the Kansas Development Finance Authority, the bonds are rated by the usual ratings agencies and the entity getting the bond funding is on the hook to pay them back (likely with the KBOR or the State coming into play in case of default).    In the case of the WSC, K-State floated about $51 million in bonds but the total price tag was nearly $87 million, so K-State athletics had to pay over $30 million straight out.   The Regents and KDAF aren't going to approve the bond issuance without a concise plan of re-payment, and they also require millions to be held in bond reserve funds by K-State athletics.

ku athletics to my knowledge hasn't privately funded any major project straight out, with possibly the exception of the Booth HOA.   But even that's debatable because Lew floated millions in bonds to pay for the Anderson Football Center and AFH renovations.   Lew also took a $5 or $6 million dollar no interest LOAN to help pay for the AFC, and Rock Chalk Park was entirely financed through a 3rd party with KU athletics on the hook in a lease for 50 years.

I suspect as of right now Cheyenne Zulu has Memorial Improvement so far out because he wants to pay down more of their bond debt so he can get bond funding to start construction with major gifts stockpiled to help pay it back.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=I'm%20your%20huckleberry

The etymology of the phrase is traced back to Arthurian Lore. Huckleberry Garlands were said to be given to Knights of the Kingdom for coming to the service of a damsel. They would approach the lady, lower their lance, and receive the small branch as a symbol of gratitude; much like a medal.
Therefore, "I'm Your Huckleberry" literally means "I'm your Hero."
In current adaptaions, in reference to the movie Tombstone, it means "I'm your man." as an affirmative response to a challenge.

[sonofdaxjones]

What's sad is that the humorless psycho/sociopaths of Phogtuckville can have thread after thread speculating about when their football stadium is going to get somewhat renovated, that they need a K-State fan with a brain to tell them (while he was looking to see if the next phase of K-State's renovations were going to be discussed in the next regents meetings).

Let's see now, FY 2017, by that time K-State could very well have completed nearly $140 million dollars worth of football facilities improvements.   I seem to recall our chief perpetually angry ku fan formerly in residence often telling us how K-State didn't have a prayer of keeping up with ku and that ku and it's athletic director was "building a monster".   
Sad how little TSC love the other side gives us.

I realize this is tongue-in-cheek, but you know as a New World plant, there couldn't possibly be any European record of the Huckleberry, pre-Columbian exchange, right?

[sonofdaxjones]

Interesting, ku in the midst of a massive all out fund raising campaign got $174 million in donations in FY 2013.  K-State not in the midst of a public all out fund raising campaign got $152 million in FY 2013.

Regardless of effort, they still raised $22 million more, and in the middle of their Futility U years.  That $174 mil is actually pretty impressive when you look at how disconnected the fan base is from the football program.  We're $22 million less in fundraising in the Titletown year.

It's possible that the plant was named after this Huckleberry character. I mean it's not like the natives would have called it Huckleberry.

The Webs has lots of different viewpoints on this subject...some suggest it refers to a "huckle bearer" or pall bearer.  Others point to the Historical Dictionary of American Slang (of which I don't have a copy) stating a huckleberry is "a man for a particular purpose". 

But, yeah...KU football.
