So we ran $3M in the red this past year due to not putting fans in the stands and you think we can afford to put in lights. What for??? So the 1/4 full stadium looks better as attendance continues to decline. As long as we put a crap team on the field their is NO justification for upgrades of any kind. Making it look better is not going to fix the problems with this program anymore than flashy uniforms are. Upgrades are not putting 4 star players on the field either as long as you are the bottom dwelling team in the B1G.Originally posted by pb1941:
450 mil. to up grade the football stadium and we can`t afford to put up lights. We can but we won`t. Get rid of Burk!!
Apologies for any confusion. I never intended to imply that investing in a new domed football stadium was the solution... you said the solution is a better team, and as I stated, a better team is the byproduct of the actual solutions, so I was asking what your "solutions" were. new AD? new coach? something else? I read a lot of complaints about Burke, but in another thread a month or so ago, I asked people what specifically others would do differently, and there were very little specifics noted in the responses. Thus, I was asking for your insight as to what you would do if it were you, or what moves you'd want the new guys to make if they replaced the current regime.Originally posted by SIBoiler2:
So if it's just an investment that will fix this mess that has been going on nearly without fail since the departure of Jack Mollenkopf with the exception of the Tiller years then let's blow up the budget, level RA, build a world class domed facility and have the best facility money can buy. But let's also keep MB, DH and the litany of failed coaching staffs we've seen over the years. Think the new state of the art facility will translate into B1G or national championships???? If we keep doing things the same way we've done them for nearly the past 50 years we'll continue to be a bottom feeder only we'll be the bottom feeder with the best facilities money can buy. In case you haven't guessed it's bowl season and I've been so sickened by what I am seeing at Purdue for most of my life (I'm 62) that I refuse to allow a bowl game to be turned on in my house and see NO end to the Purdue misery.
