I know we need a new aquatics center.


Badly. That may be the most outdated facility we have on campus. A new one is in the works and it may have already been started, but it needs to happen now. I've been to Auburn's, UGA's, UT's, and Vandy's, and the last one is the only one that approaches the inadequacy of ours. It's just not built for an SEC swim meet. Hell, the new public aquatic center in Hunstville puts Bama's to shame. As in most sports, we have world class coaches and world class talent in the pool. We need to stop making their job harder with facilities that aren't even up to par with ones in the state, much less the conference. Rant over.

Byrne is going to get shite done here.

Q: Have there been any thoughts or discussions about possibly building a new basketball arena to replace Coleman Coliseum, which is nearly 50 years old? How much is that on your radar already?

I feel like there was a poster on here that swam for Alabama in the 90s that's still connected to the program. He said that a new natatorium is in the works.
