Back on my point. Facilities affect the atmosphere; which affects recruiting. Otherwise, why bother wasting money on visits?  Just have an auction..

It's absolutely nuts to think the prospects don't care where they will.be playing.

Upgrades to the football and basketball stadiums also affect attendance; which affect recruiting.

Fit, playing time, position, getting to the NFL are other factors for prospects in our reach

The staff turned over after we lost players to the portal

They were probably headed for the door.

Common knowledge Henry was gone.  Either demotion or elsewhere

The weight room and locker rooms are facilities.
The largest scoreboard is a vanity project and won't be the largest scoreboard for long.

So the stadiums are not facilities? Might as well play basketball at Huff. Do they look at the stadium on visits? Or just the locker and weight room?

I am.not big on jumbotrons, but the argument it took money from NIL from players is ignorant.

It was a 100k gift for stadium upgrades. Less than 30k went to the scoreboard.

More getting ahead of the curve than vanity. Whether old farts like them or not, jumbotron scoreboards are here to stay. Did you guys whine about SFC upgrades?

btw, It also already helped us win an appeal.

No one said Mendoza went to Indiana for the facilities. PAStrawman at it again.

WTF are you talking about? Nichi claimed facilities and scoreboards matter. You stuck your nose in as welll. How about you start reading what other people actually write instead of listening to the voices in your brain?

An instant PAStrawman classic

I know this isn't Twotter, but how about following the discussion other than whatever the voices in your head are saying?

This seems to refute the narrative that it’s all about “dollar bills, ya’ll.”



LOL. It was the Indiana facilities!

It's a moot point because it was never either stadium improvements or NIL money..Always take pie when pie is being passed. Don't demand cake or you might walk away with an empty plate.

Uh, it was definitely that we misjudged the NIL market and those guys left.

I understand that Tempo has CTE from being 80% on 50/50 balls in HS and can't follow a discussion. What's your excuse for thinking our DL left due to facilities and not Illinois misjudging the NIL market?

Program.environment does matter (but not necessarily "scoreboards"). As Nichi said, why have visits, just have auctions.

It was money that was not put towards NIL. That's a fact. I know you are allergic to facts.
