BG's facilities are fine and are more than comparable to the rest of the MAC. Stroh has an auxiliary court. They have the same weight rooms as the other teams in the MAC do...the Sebo Center is used for all sports and is 42,500 square feet. Football has an indoor practice facility which was just used to host the MAC indoor track championships. They have an Olympic size pool...a 5,000 seat hockey arena...

Anyway, more than time for Huger to go. Nice guy, terrible coach.

It only makes sense to have a small facility if you plan on staying small time.

So then, when are you guys going "Big Time"?

"3rd FBS school in history to win outright conference championships in football, and men's and women's basketball in the same academic year joining Ohio State 2006-07, and Oregon 2019-20."

Shame, don't see BG there.

Yeah, because BG's athletics is currently a train-wreck. A new AD was just hired, so it will take some time, no doubt.

But again, when are you leaving the MAC for the "Big Time"? You know, because your basketball Arena seats a whopping 7,300 for basketball.

I know drawing 1,932 to a 4,280 seat arena, doesn't necessitate a larger facility.
