Yesterday, Purdue announced a $60M project to build a bigger, better football complex. How many other universities have spent millions on facilities recently?
Just when you thought they didn't care, Purdue comes along with an announcement that they're going to spend (pending trustee approval) $60M on a "football performance complex":
Purdue President Mitch Daniels and vice president and director of intercollegiate athletics Morgan Burke announced today that they will seek approval at the December meeting of the Board of Trustees to construct a $60 million football performance complex.
When it comes to "Why" Purdue is proposing the construction of a new football complex, note the following photograph of a document which appears to be a proposal comparing Purdue's facilities with other schools (and Notre Dame) in the Big Ten.
