So based on Title IX requirements, I assume their women's team has similar accommodations?

But seriously, the NCAA needs to close some of these loopholes. It at very least ***** all over the spirit of the rules by having 17 "normal" students living there. I'm sure those 17 students won't end up being the players 'handlers'.

It's nice, but I always thought that the 5 star athletes dorms springing up at various rich schools were even more luxurious.

So, basically a practice facility in the dorm.
Sounds almost like a way to say "Stay here and remember why you're here."
Pretty much takes any illusions away that a person could have.

What no study room?

Maybe I've already become too jaded, but that didn't make my jaw drop. What's the main difference between that and what we have? Just the fact it's not connected?

Or tutors.

I really didn't think it was all that special.

This is in addition to a practice facility I think.

This is pretty much old news... UKs is better anyways.

Well we haven't really taken a top recruit from KU yet so I guess this really doesnt hurt us too much more. How long before every blueblood in football and basketball starts building these?

 

[Cycsk]

Who pays for the barbers who show up on game day?

 

[Cycsk]

This really helps the coaches keep an eye on the players. Coach Hoiberg and the Ames Police probably wouldn't have been called for noise and other violations if BDJ had lived in a place like this.

KU shouldn't help ISU with recruiting anyway.

 

[weR138]

**** kansas.

 

[CyValley]

So, if we add on a players dorms (wbb and mbb) to the practice building. . . .

 

[madguy30]

**** kansas.

It's more fun to watch ISU beat them when they've got the blue chips/more talent anyway.

Which is pretty much every time ISU has played KU, ever, so I don't see much changing here.

We could have something like that if our athletic department only cared about men's basketball. Thankfully, Pollard supports all our sports. I can't imagine the coaches of their other sports are too happy.

Love or hate Pollard, he has improved the facilities across the board, in bout every sport, not just basketball and football.

I doubt this has any serious impact on ISU's recruiting whatsoever. Pretty sure the KU name itself is the much bigger obstacle ISU has to overcome.

Iowa is doing the same thing, but not just for basket ball and spending about 10x the $$$.
