First the football stadium renovation, now this.. they are also planning on re-doing the softball fields and the golf facilities.

It would be nice if we could at least get lights for our baseball fields.

You can thank Title IX for us not having lights.

doesnt title IX apply to and affect ISU budget?

The university is paying for it. Not like they did a private fundraiser and came up with $3 million. Not sure how ISU can complain about state funding if they are gonna spend their $ on athletics and not academics.

Their football renovation is mostly being paid for through increased student fees, as well as the rest of their facility renovations, and it probably will not happen for another 4+ years.

They just built a brand new business building that rivals Barsema.

You would think with all this money being dumped into athletics they would be good at a bare minimum one sport.
