re: Florida, what renovations are being done to your arena?

I agree with you to an extent, I believe we should have an arena in the 13-14K seat range but a new arena wasn't really under consideration. I don't think we are settling, I think we are addressing an immediate need for a program of UF's caliber. There are a lot of costly facility issues that will be addressed soon, including a football operations building. Building a whole new arena in conjunction with everything else would cost too much right now.

I been saying for several years now that Foley totally missed the boat on upgrading facilities. His penny pinching has lost us the arms race in the 2 most furious sports (football and basketball). Both of our programs should have shot up into the stratosphere but Foley kept us a regional school when we should have been a national juggernaut. Many of our facilities are embarrassing and just doing a patch job won't suffice.

Oh, but I forgot that he's the best AD on the entire planet.
