Come on...

In football, we just built or are building:

1. $128M football stadium that opened in 2014
2. $1M football locker room upgrade that opened in 2016
3. $20M indoor practice facility opening in 2017
4. $40M football operatons building (similar to Clemson) opening in 2020

In basketball, we just built or are building:

1. $25M development center that opened in 2015
2. $60M arena renovation opening in 2018

In baseball, we've done numerous upgrades to the stadium including:

1. Replacing the field with field turf
2. Installing the largest scoreboard in college baseball ($1M)
3. Building a new clubhouse opening in 2017 ($7M)

We've recently completed other projects as well (Track, Golf).

Wake me up when Temple spends $300M on their athletic facilities over 10 years.

We decided to spend the money to build an $140M Science Education and Research Center, which will ultimately do more for our university, and will propel us into the top 100. Meanwhile, UH is just barely outside of the top 200, and behind Taco Tech and West Virginia. Congrats on sporting good, though!

Ummm, since 2009 we have spent:

$375M on new classroom buildings

$200M on student life
(Dining facilities, University Center, Rec Center, etc.)

$250M on new dorms

$65M on parking garages

The 2006 freshmen grad rate was very poor 46%. 62% of the 2014 freshmen are exected to graduate. That number will continue to rise.

This is due to two main factors:

1. Incoming students are more accomplished (SAT scores up 100 points, nearly twice as many Top 10% HS grads),

2. Our President's genius "UHin4" plan, which freezes tuition for those incoming freshmen who pledge to graduate in four years and take full course loads. 70% of the 2016 freshmen signed up.

FSU added some smaller version of this. My cousin, who goes there, sent me a video of it and was laughing at what an absolute waste of money it was. I interned there, and didn't even recognize the spaces I watched FSU players training for the combine. He said FSU did it just to do it. It had no practical purpose.
Obscene. I wonder when regular students are gonna get sick of this shite.
When they start losing...

You act like students are paying for this.

unreal....so these P5 teams have so much money they are basically inventing stupid crap to do with it while the rest of us struggle to keep the lights on....that's awesome

SMH
It's not all P5 schools. Maybe 7 to 10. You have 2 or 3 ACC schools with that kind of money to burn. GT, Duke and Miami certainly are not spending like that.

With that said, there are diminishing returns in all of this. $100 million doesn't get you 2x the results of $50 million. There is a breaking point to all of the spending. NFL teams don't do all of this because they know that some of these things are a poor use of limited funds.
NFL teams are not trying to keep you on a campus year round.

It's an investment for these schools. The payoff for Clemson is the CFP. They will get more marketing and branding return at halftime of the semifinal than if they ran commercials 24 hours a day for a year.
