Bobinski gets it. He understands what the customer wants.

Is the stadium used for anything else besides football? When you think about it it's kind of funny. Millions of dollars to upgrade a stadium which is used maybe 10 times a year?

The same could be said about many college stadiums. What makes Ross Ade different?
 
My first class is 18:

John Wooden
Joe Barry Carroll
Rick Mount
Jack Mollenkauf
Leroy Keyes
Glenn 'Big Dog' Robinson
Machelle Joseph
Stephanie White
Rod Woodson (football and track)
Nate Adams (3x National Champion T&F 220x2 100)
Serene Ross (4x National Champion T&F Hammer & Javelin)
Jermaine Allensworth/Kevin Plawecki (Baseball) (arguably the best two players in program history)
David Boudia
Fred Wampler (1951 NCAA Individual Golf Champion)
Maria Hernandez (2009 NCAA Women's Golf Individual Champion)
Arnold Plaza (2x NCAA Wrestling Champion-1948 & 1949)
Charlie Jones (1992 NCAA Champion and only undefeated wrestler in Purdue history-33-0)
Duane Purvis (Football and Track)

Tried to spread the wealth here a little bit across a number of sports. Could easily add 4-5 more from basketball and 5-10 from football but kept it to the best of the best (with a bit of research involved since I don't know much about the history of the programs outside of football, basketball, and baseball).

Scratch Machelle Joseph, add Katie Douglas, arguably the greatest women's basketball player at Purdue. Also, add the late Corissa Yasen, the greatest female athlete ever to put on a Purdue uniform.

Other than that, I don't care.
