    Wake opens +9.5 at home vs. State

    ] 2001 This alone makes me think that the game will be close and State will struggle. Hope I'm wrong though.

    Maryland athletics continues to struggle financially, despite planned move to Big Ten

    Yeah I feel the same way about Maryland (ducks to dodge batteries). Best trade of conference realignment trading Maryland for Louisville.

    Maryland athletics continues to struggle financially, despite planned move to Big Ten

    OK State has a sugar daddy called T Boone who pays for everything they build. You just admitted Plank doesn't want to pay for UMD's toys

    Maryland athletics continues to struggle financially, despite planned move to Big Ten

    NC State has run a budget surplus in athletics each year that DY has been there. We are servicing our debt and still running a surplus. The reason we are doing that is because OUR FANS SHOW UP TO GAMES!!! If you cant get that through your thick turtle skull then I cant help you. Take some...

    Maryland athletics continues to struggle financially, despite planned move to Big Ten

    The new State indoor facility will cost $15 mill. The new FSU facility cost $15 million. The UVA facility cost $15 million. I can keep going. Why does Maryland need to spend $50-80 mill on a practice facility? Your not Oregon or Alabama!!! The same argument could have been used 10 years...

    Maryland athletics continues to struggle financially, despite planned move to Big Ten

    Thats how most stadium improvements done in the last 10-15 years are paid for. X amount for private donations/naming rights X amount for seat licenses/lifetime rights X amount assumed yearly purchases in seats/suites/club seats to gain financing/loan Almost every other school got their fans...

    Maryland athletics continues to struggle financially, despite planned move to Big Ten

    Your right it is an arms race and every other major college stadium has suites as well. So if you don't have them, your behind. A indoor stadium isnt going to help State practice better or on more days. Its a pretty toy to show the recruits. You continue to come up with excuses as to why...

    Maryland athletics continues to struggle financially, despite planned move to Big Ten

    So a $50-80 million dollar practice facility and football center isn't a luxury??? Maryland doesnt have any other practice facilities that they are using right now? I would argue that suites/club seats/stadium appearance is very very much a recruiting tool. In addition to the revenue that...

    Maryland athletics continues to struggle financially, despite planned move to Big Ten

    "Revenue from a $20 million naming rights deal with Chevy Chase Bank signed last August will cover part of the cost of the Tyser Tower expansion. The remainder will be funded through a $35 million loan to the athletic department by the University System of Maryland and through private donations...

    Maryland athletics continues to struggle financially, despite planned move to Big Ten

    Do you really believe that Maryland donors are going to pony up $50-80 mill for those facilities when they aren't paying for the suites now? Also included in the original article. " But fundraising has been among Maryland athletics’ weakest links." I could see Kevin Plank paying for it but...

    Maryland athletics continues to struggle financially, despite planned move to Big Ten

    The money being withheld is to cover the $52 mill. ($15 mill last year, $15 mill this year plus another $22 mill that UMD will owe the ACC if we win). Maryland will at least have to pay $20 mill (the previous penalty which UMD did agree to) which means that the $15 mil from last year and $5...

    Maryland athletics continues to struggle financially, despite planned move to Big Ten

    She never announced anything during the search. You are referring to rumors about her going after Shaka (which were true, she did offer the job and discussed it briefly in the post Gottfried hiring presser) and Gregg Marshall (nothing confirmed, just widely held belief), and Rick Barnes and...

    Maryland athletics continues to struggle financially, despite planned move to Big Ten

    You can argue that it is however one of the things that Maryland fans like to knock on Debbie for is building too much (expanding Byrd, building the Comcast center) They are now going to spend $50-80 mill on a indoor practice facility that they don't have and are already in debt (could be more...

    Maryland athletics continues to struggle financially, despite planned move to Big Ten

    Again, I think your thinking of Fowlup who did in fact open his mouth at every turn. Other than her letter the night before hiring Gottfried, she made no statements about a coach, none!

    Maryland athletics continues to struggle financially, despite planned move to Big Ten

    I think your thinking of the Lowe hiring process that Fowl up did. Gottfried process was pretty smooth.

    Maryland athletics continues to struggle financially, despite planned move to Big Ten

    Everybody in the ACC whether its Maryland or Duke has got the same ACC money every year. Again, UMD's football attendance is on par with Wake, Duke and BC. Those schools have a much smaller alumni base and aren't bleeding money. Why is it that a school that has one of the largest...

    Maryland athletics continues to struggle financially, despite planned move to Big Ten

    Because the UMD fans seem hell bent on blaming all of their problems on Yow. She is our AD now and so far has done a commendable job (I believe it will take 5-7 years before we really see how well she has done.). People tend to protect their own when they like what that person is doing. UMD...
