Finally, Purdue football has gotten a badly needed investment in football with the announcement earlier today of the Football Performance Facility (We need a better name, but I would imagine Brees' name will be on it since he donated the first $1 million). As you know now, the facility will be on the north end of the Mollenkopf indoor practice facility and will feature a new locker room, weights facility, study areas, meeting rooms, and more. With a price tag for $60 million it is a substantial investment in the program and badly needed.
Just how badly was it needed?
