Will that be football only or will they have to share it with other sports?

I believe it will be shared with almost all other sports. There is another thread out there where a poster addressed that. I cannot remember which one it is or I would link the discussion.

Really nice. Excited for the future of our football program. Thanks for the post.

It should have ended with the camera driving down the street and doing a 3d tour of Chings.

very cool.

Dean Lotz implemented using parachutes for resistance/speed training back in the late 80's/ early 90's.

I think he actually patented them and made some coin.

This will be a fantastic facility.

Great link. Thanks!

Basketball team is not allowed. Sprinkles are for winners

I have a niece who is a scholarship volleyball player at The University of Illinois and she told us over the Christmas holiday that they use their IPF to do board and grass drills just like the football team does - along with putting on a harness and dragging tires - said they also do this drill called a latter drill {whatever that is} and she said the Illinois strength coaches have them do these drills in the IPF because the turf {as opposed to the hard-wood volleyball court} is much easier on their ankles and knees......Talked to a coach who goes to our church on Sunday who was telling us that when he took one of his football players down to Ole Miss back in January for a visit that the Ole Miss softball team was using their IPF at that particular time.....Our brand new IPF will be the absolute jewel of the of The University of Memphis athletic facilities....IT WILL BE A GAME CHANGER and it will be used by most {if not all} our athletes from time to time......It's late and I am off to bed..but..at a later date I will explain how the new athletic cafeteria works or how we and other Universities are getting around the NCAA rule that states no athletic cafeterias......Most do..but..some of you just do not understand what a GAME CHANGER this particular facility is going to end up being. I mean this from the bottom of my heart when I say that I never thought I would live see this type of facility on our campus.
