Well hell, up until this new complex Auburn has acted like they weren't willing to spend money to keep up in facilities. The former AD (Jacobs) floated this complex around for years and only got a big arse Jumbotron and a recruiting facility annex.

You just fired your coach with 20+ million dollar buyout along with losing millions off the covid season (as far as I know you guys didn't have tens of millions in reserve funds) and now you guys wanna shell out $90+ million?

Didnt you just spend $90 million 10 years ago for a new basketball facility?

Look at all the money GA brings in from the Lotto and yet they are the South’s liberal shithole. Atlanta is becoming the new Damascus and Alabama has Huntsville, makes you wonder that money is not the only answer.

While UGA will always suck,
Goodbye to the state of Georgia and good luck with
your experimental revolution of taking
money from those willing to work and
giving it to those who are not.

Yes we are.

Not sure why anybody else cares what Auburn and their supporters do with their money. It just goes to show how wrong everyone was about not having the $ to replace Gus.

And it still takes 1 hour to get from Forsyth County to Auburn?



How much did the new basketball arena cost? I can show you some links.

So you guys have tens of millions in reserve funds?

Are you REALLY trying to tell me you didnt lose millions in athletics like every other SEC school did in 2020?

Who cares? It was 10 years ago and it was worth every .01. Auburn wasn't attracting a good coach or top talent in that old Colosseum.

Apparently so. Why does how Auburn spends their $ bother you so much?

Don't think anybody has said that in this thread, but regardless, the money is apparently there for this project as well. Our current facility is way behind and we will continue to miss out recruits looking for that kind of facility.

They have to come up with a percentage of that cost from boosters. I would assume 50%

Not the point.He said I wasn't being truthful and thank God you had a AD like Jay Jacobs who was will to spend the money but I thought you guys hated him.

Highly doubtful when you were running a deficit a few short years ago. LINK
