BOWLING GREEN — When the Bowling Green men’s basketball program moved into the Stroh Center in fall 2011, it was easy to let the imagination to run wild.
The Falcons had a gleaming new $30 million arena on the edge of campus, and, thanks to a bombshell gift from one of their biggest fans, money to spend.
That same year, Bill Frack created an endowment that would give the BG men nearly $1 million per year in perpetuity. He wanted the program to be able to attract marquee nonconference opponents, provide coaches with all the bells to go with their whistles, and have one of the biggest budgets in the Mid-American Conference.
