You may have addressed this and I missed it but any timetable for completion of each the football and basketball locker rooms?

I would think the basketball locker room will be done by this upcoming season. It’s out for bid now and really shouldn’t take that long. The football locker room probably won’t be ready until the spring or summer of 2019. That’s because they’re completely tearing everything out of that and expanding it and starting over. They’re using the old Hoosier Room and rehab facilities next to the current locker room to create an entirely new layout and lounge. So they can’t start on that until those old facilities move into the south end zone this August. And at that point, the team will need a functioning locker room for the season that isn’t a hard hat area.

For now that’s very true. Crean wasted money hand over fist.

Archie hasn’t had a chance for him and his staff to demonstrate their worth.

Yeah Fred gave Crean what he wanted. I don’t know that Crean necessarily spent that money wisely.

Here is what pretty much all of our locker rooms looked like in 2006-2007. Glass arrived in 2009, and mentioned that it was an early goal to renovate all 24 locker rooms in some way...

(Field hockey, track, wrestling, baseball, softball, and soccer are shown...field hockey, baseball, and softball were located in Assembly Hall, and they had to walk/ride to their old playing facilities at Mellencamp Pavilion and the old baseball and softball fields up the hill.)

[RBB89]

^^^ All of the above have been renovated. I believe every sport has a new locker room at this point. Swimming just got one. Tennis and golf did as well. Baseball, softball, field hockey, wrestling, and volleyball all have new stadiums/arenas and locker room facilities on site. ^^^

Again, basketball has received upgrades to their LR before, but there was so much else that needed to be done that a complete redo probably got pushed back. I imagine Archie asked for it as well. Here are the current baseball, softball, field hockey, and golf locker rooms, just as a comparison to what I posted above...

Thank the Good Lord the locker room revamp is happening.

(Mainly because I'm over the arguing on the subject)

Now if we can get new unis or add in an alternate. Been saying this for the past 10-12 years now.....

I assume these are current of Dayton's locker rooms?  Not too shabby!

I’m not saying that you’re wrong but other than recruiting(knew he blew quite a bit there). Where else did he waste money? Just curious

Everywhere with his poor planning. I used to talk quite a bit with Janitorinthegym when they had inside info. He sent managers on 2 hour drives to get certain balls. Other silly stuff like this. Cupcake scheduling and pay games supreme. Promotional things too. Recruiting inefficiency probably takes the cake though.

Who the hell is designing theses locker rooms? Drop ceilings are the equivalent of popcorn ceilings and have been outdated since the 90s. To renovate and do it halfass is crazy

This just goes to show you how far we’re behind in our men’s locker rooms . It kind of embarrassing.

Even the football schools have better basketball facilities. We are run by morons.

The football schools actually have money to spend. It helps when you aren't playing in front of 20,000 empty seats every Saturday.

Lol we have plenty of money to spend on this front. This has just been a poorly managed list of priorities.

Again, you guys realize the AD does not pick and choose how much money he gets. He gets handed a budget that he has to decide where that money goes. Unfortunately we have close to 20 programs that basketball and football carry and some of their profit goes there. If you guys want to be sure money goes to a specific place, donate money. It’s really that simple. I never understood complaining about something you have zero clue on. You only assume they have a large sum of money. Most capital projects come from donations. Like I truly don’t think you guys realize how much the overhead cost of feeding, housing, and educating a scholarship kid. Multiply that by over 20 programs.

I very much have a clue on this. It's silly to hinder your money maker to finance the things you need your money maker to prop up. 

Football and basketball facilities need to come first so they can generate more revenue for the others. 

You finance things that are going to generate revenue before you finance things that are simply a cost.

Ok. What is their budget? How much is their maintenance costing currently in an older building? What is their payroll for all employees? You finance things you have money for. How much money do we have on the 17-18 budget for upgrades?

We had money for other upgrades for non money making programs. It's as simple as that. Priorities were skewed. 

The baseball program I could understand. While being a money loser it has the potential to be less of a loser with proper investment. 

The fact they raised money for a renovation of assembly hall without handling the locker rooms is ridiculous and pathetic multi million dollar renovations and they don't take care of the locker rooms. Wtf

Why? You do realize there is always a 1, 5, and 10 year plan for capital projects right? Just because they didn’t do it first doesn’t mean it wasn’t planned. They will have got all of this done in 5 years. Pretty damn good tbh.

It sucks that basketball and football have to pay for all the other programs. Think of how awesome our stuff would be if those sports got to keep all their profits.

We have a real basketball coach now, and an AD willing to spend, so I don't think we need to worry about our facilities. They'll get taken care of. If Archie wants something he's going to get it. We just renovated the basketball weight room and it looks nice. Good days are ahead boys!
