Can't Brogan do something about who is on this thing…most of these people are too small minded to allow the University to become a major player…
I remeber the same talk when they talked of starting the prgram…its bad enough we have competition on the filed…not to only have compeptition amongst our supposed leaders…unbelievable…
I'm happy the stdium will move forward…Hopefully by the time its time to talk the next "phase" some of these poeple will be gone…

Sounds to me like someone needs to relieve Mr. TRIPP of his duties on this board…NO VISION, NO SUPPORT, AND ANTI-ATHLETICS…Who appointed this guy? Get rid of him…

While I do not agree with Trustee Tripp's stance on athletics, I am glad the BoT is keeping the broader mission of the University in mind - academics. To the BoT (and rightfully so!) the only reason to build athletic facilities is to provide a more traditional atmosphere for students to study in. His skepticism certainly has merit. FAU's mission should always be education.
The Governor appoints most of Trustees (one exception is the SGA President, who is also a trustee).

My point is that the people on the board are not the people who will see the obvious benefit of putting a facility in that will not only draw the "academic scholars", but also other students who are more of a normal john or jane doe…take a look around, we lose them to UF, FSU, and UCF every year…and i know for a fact that there is a contingency (10 - 15%) that will site athletics as a consideration…one that which we have lost out on…
Our top two people sat on a community college board - that's their "claim to fame" for qualification…take a look at UCF's BOT…this makes my point clearer…not to mention i eluded to Brogan and his ties to Tallahassee, and possibly helping to get some "friends" in next go around…

The longer they draw this out the more it will cost FAU - in money and reputation.
The BOT obviously has an ax to grind with FAU Athletics. Take your selfish egos to another school - you are haulting progress at FAU.
Brogan – please help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tripp says "dome would destroy FAU's atmoshere". That one gets me. Hilarious!
Levow says "doesn't want the dome to be an event venue" What the heck does that mean? Aren't all sports games an event? Aren't they called sporting events?
Blosser says "we need to win first". UMMMM, never mind.
These three trustees, looking at those comments, don't want a stadium, period.
The pressure needs to be kept up by the alumni. Send mail, emails, take your favorite trustee to lunch and lobby. Complain to Brogan. Complian to the Governor. Just complain that this needs to move forward.
Looks like these trustees are happy to keep FAU known as a 4th tier university and a second or third choice university. It may not be a 4th tier but thats the way U.S News and World Report sees it. Thousands of high school seniors and their parents look at that publication every year.
