I've never understood the whole facilities thing. Obviously Faurot needs to have some work and expansion done, that's happening now.

I don't get why the training facilities are the big deal. We just opened our 100,000 square foot training facility in 2008. Are all the comments about Mizzou's facilities being shitty because because the training facility is not football exclusive or am I missing something else?

I know Mizzou received over $47mil in ONE year from a few donors for athletics since joining the SEC, not counting the smaller donations. And don't they have a pledge of over $240mil for a number of years. So the facilities part I'm not worried about, they about to get upgraded.lol.

I think they just assume we have 6 bowflexes and a Richard Simmons workout tape.

Plus, our player development sucks apparently.

Obviously winning cures all. VA Tech and USCwest don't have squat for facilities and there great programs. But it never hurts. We're doing a $45 million renovation/addition to ours. To me its one of those things that just sweetens the pot when a trying to sell a kid on your program.

From ESPN LINK

1. Alabama
2. LSU
3. Tennessee: Not only has Neyland Stadium gotten a multi-million dollar facelift over the past few years, but the Vols are set to move into a new $45 million football facility this fall. The Vols already had an indoor practice facility, and their new digs will include everything from a mixed martial arts fighting cage, to a restaurant, to cell phone recharging stations in the players’ dressing cubicles in the locker room.
4. Georgia
5. Auburn
6. Florida
7. Arkansas
8. Ole Miss
9. Mississippi State
10. Missouri: A $16 million expansion and renovation project opens this summer. The new facility will measure more than 100,000 square feet, almost doubling the space in the Tigers’ old facility. The locker room will have eight 30-inch plasma high-definition televisions throughout the room.
11. Texas A&M
12. South Carolina
13. Kentucky
14. Vanderbilt

Simple math?
45 million @ Vols > 16 Million @ Tigers
