Facilities is a really big deal. Anybody saying the RAC as is should be enough to win is sticking their head in the sand. I'm no BK118 but I'm been to a bunch of the other guy's venues. Lots of informal poking around and formal tours of the Louisville and Michigan State hoops practice facilities. We are not even in the same ball park and honestly what we have planned is barely a start in the right direction.
And it's not just hoops. We've got a ways to go. And it is unfortunate but until we are fully B1G vested it's going to be hard.
The RAC is frankly embarrassing. and to add insult to injury, there's garbage all over the RAC parking lot. and a "new" bridge going over a small trench is rusted out. we've certainly have got a WAYS to go.
