Didn't BYU save a few thousand towards Weight Room by taking bus to Vegas Bowl?

It's typical Harbaugh, compensating again for not having actually won anything.

Is there a more annoying person in sports?

Is that ALL he's compensating for?

It's probably not worth the investment. There are diminishing returns at play.

The other reason is for increased morale amongst your fanbase.

Michigan is spending money on an unneeded facility so they can gather unneeded

Ute in DC

Yes. they are so flush with cash they are spending it to build a facility they don't need to build excitement in the

I don't know what their current weightroom is like but that kind of stuff can

It could also be they have money dedicated for that purpose

No one needs that kind of space. Ridiculous

2/16/17 7:17pm

That's exactly what I said about a 13GB hard drive on my computer in 1998.

Haha, yeah. The two situations don't correlate but I can see how back in the day

2/16/17 7:26pm

Holy crap. 1998?

We still don't have a decent weightroom or workout facility for the 30k students

If only BYU had P5 money

If only BYU would accept donations for those types of projects.

LiquidUte

When I was there it sure felt like there was no appealing gym.

the weights probably still weigh the same.

Kuga

Like donors are going to come forward and start investing in Detroit.

I hear the weights themselves are solid platinum
