[QUOTE="TCUdirtbag, post: 2455754, member: 61297"] The old stadiums are great, but that's not what they build any more. The clubs and suites bankroll the entire university. They don't just produce cash for athletic scholarships based off the purchase price - those clubs are the administration and development officials' dream. They gather many of the major donors and their friends in a single place several times a year. Put some booze in em and ask them for money for the business school, the medical school, a new endowed professorship, a new facility for an Olympic sport, a new research center or academic program, etc. One of the reasons they built some of the nicest club facilities in college sports was to make those places a "place to be" for the movers and shakers in the community - then engage those folks with the university. Plus the multi-year deals make them a great revenue stream in years when the team underperforms. [/QUOTE]
