Players want to play for winning programs. With coaches they trust will get them to the next level. Facilities aren’t as big anymore I’ll agree with that.Perhaps those new facilities won’t make a difference. Guess the donors should have consulted Gerry first.
He is dead wrong!Perhaps those new facilities won’t make a difference. Guess the donors should have consulted Gerry first.
They matter, but even middling power 5 programs have nice facilities these days.Perhaps those new facilities won’t make a difference. Guess the donors should have consulted Gerry first.

Everyone wants to have that "hot take" these days so DiNardo can phrase it like that if he wishes. But you've captured the essence of what he really meant. If you want the top recruits, facilities are seldom going to be a deciding factor. That said, the new facilities will help when battling for some regional recruits like going against a school that doesn't have top of the line facilities.They matter, but even middling power 5 programs have nice facilities these days.
Agree. Great facilities don't guarantee success, but poor facilities more often than not lead to failure. There is a baseline quality which facilities need to meet. The new facilities will exceed that bar, and soon enough will simply meet that bar.They matter, but even middling power 5 programs have nice facilities these days.
So this 150 million dollar facility will help us beat Minnesota but not Ohio state? Take my moneyEveryone wants to have that "hot take" these days so DiNardo can phrase it like that if he wishes.

can you name a playoff team that isnt in the top 10 in facilities?
There is a simple solution. Determine the size of squad that your coaches can reasonably coach well. Coaching staffs are limited in size. You can't tell me that just because we are Nebraska that our coaches can coach more players better then other coaching staffs just because we have a history. Not the same coaches. Not the same players and we certainly aren't seeing the results. Time to realize the rotary phone is no longer the thing.Isn’t one of the big reasons why were building a new facility is so we have a locker room bigger and efficient to accommodate all of the players with walk ones included..
Not to mention position rooms needed to also be larger..

McDonalds 'bag o cash' is prob cheaper and more effective use of those facility funds.Everyone wants to have that "hot take" these days so DiNardo can phrase it like that if he wishes.

i know this is stupid to say but i can't help but think about how much money is spent at OU on football and how nice the facilities are and how much they pay their coaches. And how much greater all those football related things are at OU than the education they offer young people.Good point..And Oklahoma new football facility is one of the best I’ve seen onYouTube..
We'd be much better off buying new coaches than a new facility. A $150 million facility isn't going to make a damn bit of difference if we keep going sub-.500.Perhaps those new facilities won’t make a difference. Guess the donors should have consulted Gerry first.
I’m not disagreeing with you on this but if you have seen some of these other football facility’s lately being built you would understand we need to catch up with the other‘s, especially if you have had the chance and seen Northwestern football facility over looking Lake Michigan..
I can’t say that I have seen Penn St, Michigan,Sparty’s or Purdue but i’ve seen quote of the others in the conference...
His argument actually involved Northwestern. They have upgraded their facilities tremendously and their recruiting has remained stagnant (from a class rankings standpoint).
Personally I think Dinardo is jumping the gun a bit. Their football facility is only two years old (with one cycle not permitting kids on campus).
They also take kids with higher end academic grades too..
LOL, Dinardo is such an expert on winning teams and recruiting. I'm sure he understands the minds of high school kids perfectly.Perhaps those new facilities won’t make a difference. Guess the donors should have consulted Gerry first.

Well said, I also believe quality facilities likely lead to overall good impressions when recruits begin weighing the teams they really could see themselves playing for. Recruiting is sales, It’s never a bad thing when you have as many positives to sell as possible.

their coach got fired so maybe they didn’t play hard enough. Maybe they were focused on facilities too much instead of good football.Exactly.. Go watch the video on YouTube when the Illinois players where allowed to see their new facilities for the very first time..
Then tell me how new facility’s don’t matter to recruits..
I would rather they commit because they want to be here rather than they

Dinardo is a loser and idiot.Facilities don't matter, as long as your goal is to land a gig on Big Ten Network.
IMO, Nebraska needs to spend the money now because Joe is going to try to inflate our way out of the fiscal mess all of the spending is going to cause. They have no choice and the $ today is going to buy a lot more than next year.As was said earlier winning begets facilities.
Did Clemson have top notch facilities before they started winning? Were Alabama’s facilities the talk of the college football world before Nick Saban started winning Alabama titles again?
Big money donors invest in winners. If Northwestern was continuing to be 5-7 one year and 3-8 the next, with an occasional bowl trip, no one is spending what they spent on facilities.
If Frost is able to turn the corner this year, I bet those Nebraska facility upgrades get pushed up the agenda, if we have another 4 or 5 win season, the upgrades will be tabled because of the “economy” or something else non football related
Let's be honest, DiNardo is retardedPerhaps those new facilities won’t make a difference. Guess the donors should have consulted Gerry first.
