because it is ESPN and it is all about ratings / page views. ISU isn't important enough.Quote:

Except for all the quotes from Kentucky professors and the Georgia AD? Or the assortment of schools listed in the sidebar from all sorts of different conferences? It was kind of a big picture article. You can't really expect them to mention every athletics construction project in the country, unless it's meant to be some sort of definitive chart.Quote:

who would you put us above? the three schools directly above us all are either finishing up or are starting some pretty drastic upgrades to their stadiums that will make them very niceQuote:

it says the new facility is to replace to the jacobson building...it doesnt say they are renovating it so they are technically correctQuote:

It said "renovating" until enough people apparently told him he was wrong.Quote:

The sentence structure is still poor. Now it reads like the Jacobson Building is going away.
Texas Tech doesn't even have an indoor practice facility (unless you count the shed they used for Craig Jame's son) yet some how they are #4?Quote:
