Excuse me but didn't FAU come to Coach S. and ask him to start a program ? Damn it - let him do his job !! Is the BOT going to fire him when he can't recruit players because UCF and USF are taking them because their school SUPPPORTS football ?!?!??!?!??!
If we have no ground breaking by 2007, FAU will reap the repercussions of accepting the BOT's selfish antics - loss of students, student athletes, coaches, boosters, $$$$ and reputation —– to OTHER FLORIDA schools !

FAUFBL absolutely Ditto on your post and to add it is hard to fathom that it takes nine years to decide what kind of stadium to build. Everyone wants a stadium period and the dome would have been very nice but most people didn't really give a crap they just wanted a stadium. Hell I would love to own a Rolls Royce but I have to settle for my Crown Vic. It does the same thing just not as flashy or comfortable but still gets the job done.
They could easily get this thing up by 08 and that is what is leading me to believe that it is a yet another stall when they mention 2010. UCF worked on the feasibility study, and after the concept was accepted, six months later the thing is coming out of the ground. They had a commitment to the City of Orlando and that is why it took a little linger for them to pull the trigger on the project. So technically you could add a year to the six months but we are not in that situation. The stadium will be done by 07.
We have Bone headed, backward thinking people stinking up the whole project. This stadium thing isn't that big a deal and is smaller then UCF's project. UCF's stadium can be expanded to 80K but they needed to get it in the ground in order to attract recruits and make a major step into the big time. Why on earth are we looking four more years down the road till a proposed completion. Ridiculous. They could start at 15 or 20 K seats and add since it is open air which is the way 99% of the programs have started with. I said this two years ago build it and as the program grows add to it. That isn't rocket science

How feasible is it?
The reason i say this is that the Govenor/Lt Govenor appoints them…and ironically Brogan was LT Govenor of FL when some of them received appointments - however, i highly doubt he new then that he would be President of FAU down the line at that point in time…with the new Govenor coming in (whom i dont believe Brogan has direct ties with) how feasible is it to have any of them replaced? And on what basis could thery be replaced?
I will look into more of the politics, background, and history on all of them and post later with some details and facts…very curious to gain an assesment on the real value of their leverage, if in fact some of them can be relieved of duty by simply following correct political processes…

I have a problem that we are telling recruits that they will be playing in a dome by 2009. Now we have to back peddle. We have already lost recruits due to the fact we do not have a on campus stadium and a lack of athletic support. The BOT has ruined our credibility.
Disappointed all year to find out the "Dome" was not an approved project. If no Dome was going to be built then why did they University allow the athletic department to advertise it on the "Official" FAU website and tell recruits about it ?? This whole thing stinks to me.
Currently we still have no "official" decision other than we will get a stadium, SOMETIME. It is very apparent to me that the BOT has to approve the stadium but they are going to make everyone's life miserable until they are forced to make it happen. Grow up and get over it - if you can't GET OUT !!!
I am looking forward to whatever you find out Florida_Owl.
