It’s definitely impressive (as a Wolverine). In the back of my head I’m realizing these facilities are peaking. From college and pro to even high school. It’s only been the last 20 years that clubhouse rooms went from concrete bunkers with steel lockers and benches to these futuristic facilities that look like the bridge of some space ship in a movie.
And it’s a must to attract talent. If schools don’t do this, they won’t wow prospects. Someone else will.
There’s a growing discontent with the benefits athletes are receiving. Some of it with college sports traditionalists or with academics where improvements to school property are lopsided. Also a lean toward privatization and the growing health concerns of sports injuries that almost seem inexcusable for the tens of millions of dollars spent on new facilities.
At least I have no one to blame but myself for concussions in football. Facilities and training staff were pretty ‘spartan’ then. I had to say that.
