Between UM and USF, AAC is really stepping up building IPFs.

IPF finished & rolling right into the $3.5 million Fieldhouse arena renovations https://gotigersgo.com/news/2020/6/26/El...tions.aspx

Women's Volleyball has officially taken over sole use of the Finch Center (the former men's basketball practice facility) https://gotigersgo.com/news/2020/6/24/wo...-fall.aspx

"The City of Memphis this week applied for a permit to start building a much larger Leftwich Tennis Center that will be shared by the men’s and women’s Tiger tennis teams of University of Memphis."

I just perused this thread. This is wonderful for Tiger athletics. Lots of very positive things happening at UM.

Great photos, too. My father will enjoy seeing some of these.

Easily the best president we've ever had.

Being out from under the state's control and being led by our own board of trustees is the key to it all. The overall explosion of the university can be clocked from that date. Under Nashville's control, there would NEVER be a second R-1 university in Tennessee. That's about to change.

Surprisingly, the change occurred during the Haslam administration. The very wealthy Haslam clan are ardent UT Vols boosters.

you can thank Brad Martin's connection to the Haslams for some of that

Haslam's wife is a Memphian.

I think that had something to do with it as well.

He's done more for Memphis than any other Governor I can remember.
