re: Peyton Manning explains why the Uaa keeps failing

however what about that massive relatively new football training facility? Is that not good enough?

---

recruits don’t care about that as much anymore

They want to get paid and our nil programs suck (according to our vocal boosters like Hal Lewis it’s because the fans don’t support the collectives enough…)

It wasn’t too little but it was way too late

quote:

You also recently built a state of the art baseball stadium

I doubt football recruits care much about that either

quote:

---

Athletes want great facilities

---

are the kitchens in the stadiums they play in under the umbrella of “facilities” ?

quote:

---

Do these half billion dollar kitchens double as dining halls, snack bars, cooking class classrooms, etc. for your athletes? If not I don’t see how this is going to improve UFs recruiting or the on field product.

---

no the purpose of the kitchen is to cut out 3rd party vendors so the UAA (our AD) can reap all the profit and justify charging $25 for a slice of pizza to the fans

It’s all about profiting the uaa and fricking over the fans while disregarding the recruits/players completely

You are right it is an absolutely idiotic idea but the Disney gators ignore it and blame the fans for not contributing to the sketchy Collectives for all our problems

UF boosters should demand a new UAA board. Since all they seem to care about is money maybe cutting them off would give them a wake up call. I bet they would change pretty damn fast if the donations stopped rolling in until changes were made. And all that money they are getting from the $25 pizzas should go directly to the improvement of facilities or scholarships, not in the UAAs pocket

---

the issue is many of the bigger boosters (known as “bull gators” ) are buddy buddy with the UAA members and likely go into business into them on these sketchy construction projects like the stadium kitchen (likely some sort of slush fund grift)

A lot of the big boosters are a big part of the problem they like the uaa and they like Billy Napier type coaches who kiss their asses and eat dinner with them at Embers instead of fiery coaches like lane kiffin who would cal out the UAA and not suck off the boosters like billy boy does

That’s why even with 4 wins this year Napier will be back in 2025. The UAA and boosters love him.

nstead of loading up on NIL war chest they’re blowing $500 million on a fricking STADIUN KITCHEN!

---

What kind of food are y'all selling?
$500 million for a kitchen to serve +/-100,000 fans at 7 home games a year?

Grilled hot dogs, concession stand nacho with liquid cheese, popcorn, random candy and bagged peanuts are all that's needed.

They are going to have new food soon until now it’s been basic stuff. The new stadium kitchen stuff will be in future seasons.

But this is what the concessions at the baseball stadium look like

quote:

---

19 bucks for a basic cheeseburger. Holy frick.

---

actually it’s a “classic cheeseburger” with a side of “Swamp fried” chips!

The thought of a 19 dollar hamburger at a college baseball game is mind blowing.

Ole miss took out loans to pay for players. That’s well known

The fact that the UF AD thinks concessions at those prices will fly off the shelf is comical.

Vendors are less hassle and offer variety. Papa John's slice, Auntie Anne's pretzel, Frozen lemonade, Pizza Hut personal pizza, Conecuh Sausage dogs, Dreamland BBQ nachos, etc. scattered around the corridors. Then standard concessions for hotdogs/peanuts/candy/water and soft drinks.
