KU's new basketball dormitory facility

[Emo EMAW]

KU has raised over a billion dollars in private funding since 08.  Unlike K-State, we have multiple alums who can afford to donate millions to renovating the stadium.  Cliff Illig and Cerner are heavily Involved in the process, and renderings will be released after bball season concludes.

    My God how I am hankering for some renderings!

After 09-10 basketball season?

[Dr Rick Daris]

if they really do end up redoing the entire fball stadium then anybody want to guess on the over/under clipart that will be used. 50? 100?

im not so sure about clip art but ive heard some rumors from some big time KU donors (Cerner guys- legit) about Comic Sans being used in the end zones.

This is excellent. Grats Beems

Oh man, good call out.  That thing IS really stupid...

He said they could afford to, not that anyone actually is

it's all priorities and doing something about the worst football stadium in america apparently lies somewhere behind spending 18 million to keep the rules of basketball dry. maybe next year ku football clipart fans.

I can name multiple people who have given K-State eight figure donations in the last month, and KU still has a track around its football field.

[WildcatNkilt]

The "KU has multiple alums who can afford to donate millions" talk is getting old.  Either your alums are unwilling to donate or KU has the worst Athletic Department in division 1 when it comes to raising money (or maybe a lethal combo of both).  Sounds like a lot of wishful thinking.  T's and P's.   

[OregonSmock]

If K-State had just built a brand new sports complex for its national championship track & field program, announced plans for a $17 million luxury apartment for its bball programs, hired HNTB for a complete upgrade of its football stadium, and started construction for a facility that would house the original rules of basketball, I wouldn't be making fun of them.  But hey, I guess that's what separates me from the inferiority complex'd herd at goEMAW.com.

[EMAWmeister]

PLANS TO UPGRADE!

I wasn't rooting for TCU last night, but I was rooting for you kicking ass here today if TCU had won.  Oh well.

KU has raised over a billion dollars since '08 through its Far Above fundraising campaign.  There's plenty of deep pockets to help fund the football stadium upgrade once HNTB releases the renderings after bball season.  My guess is that Illig and Cerner play a big role in the upgrades, and KU incorporates some of the technology from Sporting Park into the new Memorial.

I hate to break it to you, but the KSU/TCU game last night was pretty low on beems' totem pole.  Congrats on the big win, I guess.

Sort of. But more like you meet up with your brother who's extremely good looking and ripped with hot chicks draped all over him. So on a normal day, you're around a 6, but next to him? pud city.

I know you're smarter than this.  The endowment is not an ATM that can be used for athletic facilities upgrades.

I hope so.  We poke fun but we don't want to see Memorial Stadium as part of a "ghost buildings" Buzzfeed article (obviously exaggerating).  These campaigns fall into completely different pools of money.  KU has great high-salaried grad school programs (Pharmacy, Med, Law, etc.).  Many alumns of those programs donate large flows of cash to those educational entities through campaigns like the Far Above.  The biggest caveat of what you are comparing is the students that graduated from said grad programs (and who also pump a lot of money back into them) went to undergrad at other Universities.  It is more common for fans of college athletics to support their undergrad school than their grad school (if different), especially when you're talking about giving money back to the athletic program.  It seems like you are saying that once Far Above is finished, all these donors will start pushing their donations to Athletics and other campaigns.  That doesn't make sense...because they are separate entitites. 

KU Endowment: An independent, nonprofit organization and the official fundraising foundation for the University of Kansas

KU Athletics could (and should) be campaigning their ass off for donations along side of KU Endowment.  Far Above is the same type of campaign as KSU's 2025.  The Athletic Department won't see a dime.

[pissclams]

ku is not doing a complete upgrade of memorial

[CatMission]

Correct me if I'm wrong but saying that KU built the track complex is a bit of an overstatement. Didn't KU figure out a way to put the city of Lawrence on the hook for that?
