How about the 552,990 USD spent on women's soccer according to the ETSU budget found at http://www.etsu.edu.
I'm sorry, but 100,000 dollars out of each budget buys a whole bunch of squat racks, dumbbells, and cans of paint to spiffy up part of an already built structure in the dome...

What is the athletic fee now anyway? $150/semester? It's was somewhere around $125 in the last year or two. Why not take a vote on that and see what the results show? No athletic fee with football, or $150/semester and no football but a good soccer team. Hmmm, wonder how that'd turn out...

But that isn't the question.

For what it takes to run soccer every year you couldn't create a weight room for football.

You could use the soccer team van to shuttle the football staff around....maybe.

lover, you always complain about etsu half assing everything. the current wt. room needs alot more than a couple hundred thousand to get into shape to accomodate a div. I football program. lee can only do so much with what he has in that spot, and i promise you, it cannot be done with 200k.

The room was perfectly well supporting division 1AA football as of 2003. Have to think that $200K would be more than enough renovation to get it going again. "Mr. Can't" will always find ways NOT to do anything.

let me rephrase then for 81. yes, we can do it for 200K. lets take from the other sports so they are left with less resources to succeed, and half-ass a wt room for a football program that has very little success....nice to know the old etsu football mentality is still alive and well.
