    NC State to build dorm for basketball players

    Lots that can be discussed from this I suppose.

    But my main question is…What the hell is a “boutique” dormitory?

    Can someone explain how this is not an NCAA violation? They banned specials dorms for athletes years ago.

    The headlines are misleading. 51% normal student occupancy is required 😉

    And such is discussed in the article as well. Dog is spot on with the 51% number. Hence the opposition of some to the approval, based on the cost per resident. The dorm will house both the women’s and men’s teams, and be rounded out by non-athletes.

    62 beds total.

    Sorry, I didn’t have my spoon handy last night.

    28 basketball players plus 32 other students plus
    a 70 yr old House Mom and some “little brothers and little sisters” equals

    Animal House – the 2016 edition…

    Damn…
    they ought to be able to buy two houses on Ashe Avenue cheaper than they can build something…

    You can’t put a price on that.

    Well you can, but if you have to ask…

    but wufpacker…

    Ashe Avenue has that certain shabby chic/retro/faded jeans ambiance…
    anything brand new will be shinny and sterile…

    at least until after the first keg party…

    WOW….even BobLee has a column about this. Must have REALLY upset the BOG’ers with Light Blue undies. AND this WILL impact recruiting.

    Probably a bit over the top. But, hey….Dr. Woodson was cool about it so DY and WM and Gott MUST be on board.

    This sure beats the “previous” Jock Dorm – Berry (in the early 60’s) when the PA gang that played FB for EE dominated it.

    Time will tell….change in politics BEFORE the contract is let will kill it quicker than the NCAA could issue the Death Penalty for ORW and his gang of elitists…

    But WHO knows…?

    You ain’t seen the rocks in the lobes of most of the boys lately I presume. I don’t think shabby or faded are in their vocabs. Not a judgement of ’em, just young’uns, they like the new and shiny.

    And the more I think about it, despite how silly some of it might sound, I like Mr. Dog’s take more and more.

    Yeah, we’re building it. Yeah, it’s gonna cost that much. Excessive you say? Unfair advantage you say? Is this REALLY a conversation you suits wanna have right now?

    ^I get that….

    but unquestionably the place will be trashed in two years…
    nevertheless… I, too, like the idea of the “challenge” to both the Holes and Devils to step up their “game”…

    Women’s D1 Lacrosse would be nice too…
