The thing I would like to change most here is add baseball to revenue generating, but I'm not sure with the college season it's possible in cold weather states.
dude you have no idea, colleges/high schools in central new york have to practice in a basketball gyms more times than they can practice outside. it is insane as to how bad the weather makes it for these programs
It's like the heat in the south.
yeah my northern upbringing prefers cold over burning heat anyday, but the snow is what causes issues with fields which is why football needs turf and baseball has just no chance to get good
Back in the day when Colorado was good at football, Stoops would hold practice outdoors on the coldest days before we took a trip to Boulder. Just to get them acclimated to the change.
boulder vs syracuse have huge differences, playing outside in boulder in the fall isnt that big of a change for me....but then again im not from oklahoma
It takes a little while to acclimate to extremes either way, that is for sure. When I lived in AZ, it took me a year to get used to dry heat. It's great for people who are visiting, but after living in it for a month or two, it takes its toll on your body. Then coming back here I froze in the winter for the first year. Probably from temps you would laugh at - coming from New York.

colorado is actually colder than new york, however it gets nowhere near the amount of snow and has those winter heat waves from time to time.
doesnt OKC get snow as well?

We get minimal snow. Usually no more than a foot and not very often. We get ice from rain freezing at night. We cold snaps then it warms again. It's a very sporadic time of year. It can get very cold one night and be in the 80s the next.

One of the things in the current capital improvements plan for Kent State is a dedicated baseball/softball indoor practice facility ~ its hard to arrange for pitching from a dirt mound in a multi-purpose indoor football / soccer / track facility.
