‘As soon as the money’s in, they’ll start construction.’
Cool. Now put a grand entrance on the east side of GIA like we should’ve the day after the new football practice fields were built. Can’t call it historic when it doesn’t even have a front door.
It’s not expensive and would massively transform the entire area aesthetically
I contend it should have been done when they constructed GIA.
This is probably going to go over like a wet fart in Church…but while I understand that the money is privately funded, spending 16 Milly on wrestling…is ignorant.
It’s not ignorant. Chad Ritcheson, and others, are giving that money specifically for wrestling! That money would not be given to the university or to any other sport. Would it be ignorant if you had $16 million and wanted to give it to your favorite sport such as softball?
Just massaging Chad’s pockets until he’s ready to donate for football. Gotta get him warmed up.

I clearly stated my understanding of how/why the money is going to wrestling. Id say the same thing if it were going to any non-revenue sport.
