Reminds me of my kid wanting a $20 toy

Kid: Do you have $20?
Me: Yeah, I’ve got a lot more than that.
Kid: Then you can buy this for me.
Me: No, because all that money is to pay for x, y, and z, and we’re saving for this vacation, and we’re saving up for a house, etc.

Players have such a myopic view of budgets.

He needs to learn how BYU does fundraising. They do it by project. Locker room upgrades are coming.

Not even. Weber State even has a locker room that puts it to shame.

It's interesting to see his tweet in consideration of the PAC12 players...

Easy for them to say that. They already have amazing facilities.

Weber's got to have something to attract players.

Redo what 3rd floor?

JuicyJam

I'm guessing 3rd floor of the Student Athletics Building?

8/4/20 3:00pm

Do the athletes use that area?

JuicyJam

8/4/20 3:10pm

I think that's where the coaches' offices are, hence the outrage.

8/4/20 3:12pm

It has coaches offices and rooms for team and position group meetings.

8/4/20 4:04pm

Aren’t the coach’s offices on the 2nd floor?...

Coaches and team rooms are on 2nd floor

This just demonstrates a lack of knowledge about funding streams.

Yeah, all of these players speaking out really don’t have any clue how any of it works.

This tweet first, get info later stuff is ridiculous. Maybe these guys need to go ask the AD directly.

Not stealing stuff from the athlete areas would be a good start.

Does a scholarship cover rent? Is it different living on campus versus off?

That makes sense, and isn't unreasonable. Why was it cut back in 2017?

Wait, we feed them too? Freaking whiners.

They can also get a summer job. Most other student athletes do. I did.

Chaz really hates Title IX and its funding of women's athletics. Not very woke.

The frustration is understandable..

TheLost

Then go ask the AD about it, Taking it to Twitter to complain is childish. Go to the source like a man.

You know who this kids dad is right?
