Need to blow up the two remaining towers and build a wrestling/volleyball/maybe gymnastics competition and practice venue at that sight. Could still use Hilton for large events.Quote:

To state that they only practice in Forker is also incorrect. During the crossover season (Oct-Nov), volleyball nets are up in Hilton unless there is a basketball game. When the game is over, the facilities crew puts the nets right back up.Quote:

I never stated Forker was the only place they practiced, but it is the facility that will always be available to them, unlike Hilton. The bottom line is that there are scheduling conflicts, contrary to what you claimed earlier. The team doesn't have a permanent home that is worthy of a team of their caliber. Forker as is just doesn't cut it.Quote:

to get back on topic...I will not worry about CJL leaving until Cook is out at Nebraska. There arent too many programs that are a "step up" from ISU now (thanks to Christy) especially in the midwest, where she is most likely to stay.
This is CF, it wouldn't be a day with a Y in it if someone wasn't worrying about something doom and gloom in ISU athletics.Quote:

ISU has made volleyball a priority in its' AD. UWM isn't a step up anymore.
Kentucky has plenty to worry about, that program going downhill this year. I am here for anyone who needs therapy or counseling.Quote:

While I think Bobbie has potential, she has no experience as a head coach, and I will hold my opinions to myself as to why she was hired.
I just don't see Alvarez going for a heavy hitter. The WI Volleyball program doesn't have the name that ISU already has, and would be a step down if you ask me.
I think if we add on to the Sukup for CJL, we keep her around for a very long time. She is originally from east side of Omaha, and has built a monster program at ISU that is her creation.
We need to keep CJ. I have supported Polard on every decision he has made but he needs to keep her.
To those commenting about family in WI, hasn't CLJ made comments how Iowa is a good middle ground (her family being in NE)?
Wouldn't it make sense to put one just east of MWL? A walkway could be built over Lincoln so they could still use parking over at Hilton. And opposed to towers, they would still be close to Hilton so if they do have games/duels/meets the team offices and building are right there.Quote:

I think CJL would only leave now for Lincoln, but I bet she gets another big raise out of this...and rightfully so!
Would flooding be a concern?Quote:

Does anybody know, do a lot of schools have athletic facilities (arenas, weight rooms, offices, practice facilities, etc.) all in one spot or is it spread out like we have ours?
