USC does bait and switch with student fees in plan to build $50 million football facility.

ops


USC agrees to reduce fees to build $50M football facility

http://www.thestate.com/sports/coll...h-carolina/usc-football/article110429162.html

The 105,000-square-foot facility – to include a gym, offices and players’ lounges – will otherwise be funded with student athletic fees, ticket revenue and $6 million in already-pledged private donations. It’s expected to open in December 2018.

In its proposal, the university said the facility’s location next to football practice fields means players will no longer have to cross Bluff Road to go from the stadiums’ locker rooms to practice.

Legislators said they recognize it’s about being competitive in football recruiting.

Several on the panel questioned the stipulations, since university athletics are generally self-sustaining. They noted no such conditions were required for Clemson University’s football facility. The rival’s $55 million, 140,000-square-foot complex – to include a theater and bowling alley – is set to open in January.

The four-level, 87,000 square-foot Sutton Sports Performance Center will be connected to McCreary Field House on the Reynolda Campus and include:

- More than 10,000 square feet of dedicated strength and conditioning facilities for football;
- Strength and conditioning space for men’s and women’s soccer, track & field, men’s and women’s golf, field hockey and volleyball;
- 17,000 square feet of office and team space for men’s and women’s basketball including heritage areas and team meeting rooms (3rd floor);
- 18,000 square feet of office space for football staff to include heritage areas, team meeting rooms and other team spaces (4th floor);
- Convenient access to sports science technology for evaluation and performance metrics;
- More than 1,500 square feet of customized space for a nutrition area;

In addition to the Sutton Sports Performance Center, Wake Forest will also break ground on a 24,400 square-foot Basketball Player Development Center — a $12 million project that will enable the men’s and women’s basketball programs to avoid scheduling issues that have made sharing one facility challenging. Connecting the Sutton Sports Performance Center to the Miller Center, the Basketball Player Development Center will feature:

- An additional regulation court with seven goals dedicated to the men’s basketball team;
- 6,000 square feet of dedicated strength and conditioning for men’s and women’s basketball; and
- Easy access to basketball sports medicine facilities, including a cryotherapy chamber.

IMO, outside of buying the Joel, this is the most important piece of the capital investment puzzle for both football and basketball.

My only thought would be a game against someone in BofA like UNC-USC does? Not many open weekends for that with UNC and Belk Bowl. I really don't know.

Edit: UNC didn't do that this year, so maybe we will take that weekend in the next couple years?
