Can we put a tip jar at the gates for the SEZ project?
Is this an actual thing? I have trouble seeing how that would really work in that building.Quote:

Do the SEZ project and touch up Jack Trice to polish it off and then Hilton gets some modernization/improvements. Or SEZ, touch up The Jack and new Volleyball facility?
The plan they had quite a few years ago was to turn the balcony stairwells around so they dumped directly into the outer concourse then to replace the inner concourse with suites. The parquet access would be direct corridors from the outer concourse. I think the plan entailed loss of little or no existing seating.Quote:

November 18, 2011 vs OKLAHOMA STATE = 52,027
November 5, 2011 vs KANSAS = 51,575
November 6, 2010 vs NEBRASKA = 51,159
November 24, 2001 vs IOWA = 51,042
November 13, 1976 vs NEBRASKA = 50,781
November 5, 1988 vs NEBRASKA = 50,158
Thus ends the fallacy of only two games in November with > 50,000 in attendance.
Here is my order:
SEZ
Press Box
More moderization of Hilton/JT (not even sure what)
Bring back Mens Soccer some how. (which would involve finding a cheap womens sport to bring back) Soccer is going to be even more huge in 10 years.
--We already have facilities for soccer and find a womens sport like Bowling or Rifle to equal it where we don't need any facilities.
Build a facility that houses 3-5K people for Wrestling, Volleyball etc...

We don't need to bring back a women's sport to bring back a men's sport.Quote:

I have often been confused about what Title IX required:Quote:

To the extent that a college or university provided athletic scholarships, it is required to provide reasonable opportunities for such awards to members of each sex in proportion to the participation rate of each sex in intercollegiate athletics. This does not require the same number of scholarships for men and women or individual scholarships of equal value.
However, the total amount of assistance awarded to men and women must be substantially proportionate to their participation rates in athletic programs. In other words, if 60 percent of an institution's intercollegiate athletes are male, the total amount of aid going to male athletes should be approximately 60 percent of the financial aid dollars the institution awards.
That would be cool, I could get behind that. How many seats do you think we could get in the armory? It would be a shame to sacrifice attendance numbers for wrestling/volleybay, even if the smaller venue would be a better environment.Quote:
