You're going to have to come up with the dollars in cash to build out that stadium to 25k from 8k. Cash also for a football operations building. Oh yeah and you're going to need additional woman's sports. More cash. No increase in athletic fee allowed. And you are going to have to do this as you reduce your percentage susidy below 65%. They are barely afloat in FCS as it is. Yes, all of that is in stone.

Toodles

Cobb County is just so dirt poor, that residents and their multiple corporations can't give any donations. Just just as well be a coal mining county in S WV. Now understand how hopeless Kennesaw St's situation is in your mind.

Those residents and multiple corporations are not giving them money and not attending their games today. Even if they were schools usually have to transfer massive amounts of money to build/renovate facilities. That is cash KSU does not have at all, period. They also do not have a huge monied alumni base to lean on for donations. There is no magic source of revenue for them on the horizon. Not to mention that their 8k seat stadium sits half to 2/3 full every Saturday. There is no canary in the coal mine saying FBS is a good idea or even attainable for KSU.

Mostly selling out their home games against a monster Big South and NAIA schedules screams that they can't get any attendance traction. Sounds like another GA State attendance wise - not.

The are not selling out.
And you can count the games we have had with less attendance than their stadium holds on one hand and that is even when we went 1-11. LOL

Just for fun...
