I think you are missing the issue..

They just want a locker room to be proud of but have been told (for years) there is no money. but now, in the middle of the pandemic, the school has decided to upgrade the administrative offices.

They are not asking for millions of dollars. They just want something comparable to Weber (an FCS program).

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

Do the athletes use that area?

JuicyJam

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?...
