OPINION: Change football's foundation, not just facade

As the University prepares to upgrade the football program's facilities, it needs to do the same for personnel

Massie Road is going to look a whole lot different in a few years. The University is apparently undertaking big plans to upgrade the facilities at Davenport Field and the McCue Center. To both plans, I say: Great! But for very different reasons.

For the former—expanded and improved seating at the baseball stadium—I am excited because of what the plans say about the current state and foreseeable trajectory of the baseball program. We need more seats at Davenport Field because there are too many butts wanting to fill them—as anyone who tried and failed to obtain tickets for this month's Super Regionals can attest.
