Students can earn a complete 4-year degree in nursing (as well as several other health profession degrees) at the RR campus. You can also get an MBA and a several other Bachelors/Masters degrees in RR.

Our RR campus is set up pretty nicely in that there's plenty of undeveloped land for future growth and it's directly between the Austin Community College RR Campus and St David's Medical Center...perfect place for a nursing school.

Sounds very similar to what they are trying to do with us. How has it worked out at Texas State? Have y'all noticed any negative impacts on your main campus such as decreased attendance and such?

Let me put it to you this way...we'll be fine unless we recruit worse than we did for many years as an FCS team.

These are the 3-star players on our 2014 Roster who started:
Jonathan Battle (injured for most of 2014)
Matt Dobson (safety)
Nardo Govan (H-back)
Jay Ellison (defensive lineman)
Darrius Sapp (defensive lineman)

This team went 8-0 in the Sun Belt and was maybe a top-10 G5 team.

Forgive me if I don't worship at the altar of recruiting rankings.

And Matt Breida was a two-star recruit with only a few very low-level FBS offers.

I heard that the BOR owns all the vacant land around that campus. I don't know if that's true but I do think there is room to expand that campus if they need to. It won't ever be as large as the one in Statesboro though. And getting big name teams to come play us would literally be the point of using that arena. Plus the city of Savannah would probably cut us a deal since a game like that would help boost their economy. You think Little Rock is making Arkansas pay an arm and a leg to host a game in their city every year?

Not true and and yes a little room which is the point a little room. Yes I am sure Sav govt well be bending over backwards to bring in three thousand people at best for a Sun Belt basketball game.

You think us hosting Duke or UNC in Savannah would only bring 3,000 fans max? That’s outrageously laughable.

I think 5k is about right, 3k is too low......but it is Savannah, not sure how well attended it would be overall.

If there was a perennial top-20 ACC or SEC school right down the road, we’d get the occasional marquee home game, even if it requires playing in Savannah, from teams that are already in the immediate area and could get a second game without paying for another flight.

Unfortunately, we’re a solid 4-hour bus ride from GT and UGA and even farther from Florida or Florida State. There’s simply no reason for any good team to go this far out of the way.

The entrance near those Purple buildings (proposed research labs) on the bottom right is what they have started building.

Also Tormenta FC announced potential plans to build a 5,000 seat soccer arena should their bid to join the USL be accepted. The announcement that Tormenta FC's bid has been accepted will take place during a press briefing tomorrow. The arena will go on the corner of Veterans Memorial and the Atkins Blvd extension of South Campus which is in the top left corner of the South Campus renderings.

The stadium site is actually right next to what you referenced. It’s supposed to be built on what is currently the driving range at Hackers.
