2024 SMSU Mustangs: Year 3 of Underwood

[njmav1]

It's really a shame to see all these administrators and coaches just jumping from school to school. I wish the NCAA could put some guardrails in place to keep them from moving so much.

Does the NCAA really need to defend something like that in court? The courts haven't been kind to the NCAA.

Anyway - I was looking through the M4L Day options and saw some interesting projects:

-Football is looking to fund gold uniforms for next seneon
-Basketball is raising money to fund locker room upgrades
-Wrestling wants to fund new mats

I also thought it was interesting that the general fund wants to replace the banners in the R/A (and PE, I assume) with newer ones.

Also visited the softball field recently and the updates they made to that look wonderful - sounds like they want to do more. Hopefully a new scoreboard or something.

I saw this as well. Always interesting. Amazing people are expected to donate to fund locker rooms. That should obviously be a responsibility of MnSCU and the state. Bonkers what a poorly run state we are. We have college compuses but don't keep the facilities in line.

Sad thing is - any money gained from M4L activities isn't even a bandaid on the problem. That part of campus needs a complete overhaul. Maybe they'll have enough to get a new whiteboard, some rugs, and a coat of paint for the closet they have to change clothes in.

What I want is an athletic building built on the old practice fields - move everyone out of the R/A that isn't basketball, then give basketball that space for a full locker rehab. One can dream, I guess.

Honestly, we're coming up on the 20 year anniversary of the REC and that needs some help in ways too.

This really is something. even after we didn't get it intially, you would think we could have gotten a capital expenditure to get in the last 20 years ...

Not 20 years, but same promise at Augustana.

Yeah... be nice if we could have one of those too.
