my friends let keep serious discussion here

BOV meeting minutes are out. Nothing new really but they gave approval to change the master plan to include the practice facility. And somehow Academic VII is two months behind schedule.

I think the snow has an impact on that.

Can't imagine 60 days worth

Was in the area over the weekend, and decided to take a walk around campus for the first time since May 2013. It's remarkable how much the campus has evolved in the nearly 3 years since I had last been on it.

The library is pretty damn awesome, new dorms, new Ike's, the new Science building, the road thru West Campus and a few JC changes. It'll be exciting to follow the numerous additions and changes in the coming years.

I will not recognize the place. Been a few years since I walked on campus.

You would be amazed - that 1-2 weeks of snow -- has a cascade effect on material shipments, etc

Yeah I guess. You would think they'd factor some level of snow into initial estimates though.

Also, heard the baseball field is breaking ground this summer. Anyone know if that's true?

I have heard the same.

Oh hell yes - nice - put those lights up high and off the neighbors.

When one of those changes is a practice facility I'll be excited.

I thought there was a separate thread about this topic, so if there is, let me know and I will move the link.

Kinda funny, like giving the green light for someone to go find their own money. Pretty cool though, lends a seriousness and a sort of "official stamp" to the project.

They tell me the fund name and I'll gladly write a check. Hopefully they still have that B&N money sitting around too.

OK now we are cooking with grease. When Brad sends up the flag - I will donate. Good news!

Wonder if the step of publicly seeking state approval is the precursor to an official fundraising campaign, or if the money has already been raised through corporate donations and getting the OK from the state is essentially a formality?

I know many of us here have pledged to support construction of the practice facility if the university would take concrete action to show it's more than just a set of drawings gathering dust in somebody's office.

Perhaps this is the first step in doing just that.
