Thanks again, RBB, for capturing the opening of our newest facility for all of us to see. What a welcoming home for the athletes of our volleyball and wrestling athletes! These sports have had to wait a darn long time to finally receive a true home court advantage. My oh my, what this can do for recruiting.

Sweet. Well done Fred.

Great to see the volleyball and wrestling teams get new locker rooms before football. Nice priorities at IU.

 

[coachv jr]

nice but the locker rooms are weak. couldn't they have squeezed in an extra couple hundred square feet?

Ah, but that would cost money. IU pinches every penny and cuts every corner it can.

wouldn't cost much more at all. change where you put a wall, throw in a couple sofas, a coffee table, tv. done. girls look like they don't even have enough room to change clothes. wrestlers locker is spartan. small cost for a big recruiting advantage. you could almost see the disappointment on the faces of the wrestlers and volleyballers. could you imagine if our basketball team had a locker room like that?

Hell, our basketball locker room was a joke until three months ago and our football locker room isn’t getting upgraded until this summer. Tells you all you need to know about athletics at IU.

Well the basketball team actually makes the school money, so it makes sense that they get nicer stuff.

If this were true then the building wouldn't exist. They spent a lot of money and burned up a lot of pay parking spots for these two non-rev sports.

IU has been upgrading facilities to a bare minimum acceptable standard. If you are going to spend $17 million on an arena at least put a couple hundred thousand into decent player areas. There are closets bigger than the volleyball locker room.

"Bare minimum"? Are you kidding? Dude, you need to either drop your facade as an IU fan here or get out and see other campuses. This is yet another top tier facility on campus. Smfh. You call the football stadium bare minimum? How about the soccer, swimming and diving (two of them) TAH?? Upper quartile of the BIG.

Facilities aren't everything, but this is a serious arrow in the recruiting quiver for both sports.
