What should be done with new funds?

[rhineaux]

Just a few different options i was thinking about. Any other suggestions are welcome.

Extremely sweet that this will be an annual addition, and not just a one time donation.

The football stadium needs to be cleaned. It would really add to the tailgating experience to have a shiny stadium in the background! A little bleach and preassure washers should do the trick! It has been long overdue! Baseball should get some also to fix their field, those guys deserve it...

BASEBALL:

Raise Robe's salary.
Repair baseball field and plan to rebuild grandstand.

FOOTBALL:

Reward Bustle's salary if we get to bowl game.

MARKETING:

Re-vamp it.

OTHER:

Unless we go rediculously crazy and sell out the season, additions do not need to be made to the football stadium, yet. Although the sad thing is, I bet doing so would probably bring in the people.

Just win baby! The places that need money will show!

Agree with most of those. We don't need to add on anything to Cajun Field yet, but it does need a lot of surface work. It really needs to be cleaned and stuff like that. Robe probably does need a raise, although I'd think he'd maybe forego that raise if it helped him get the grandstand re-done, so that they could have luxury boxes and such.

I added that savings option in there becasue i think that would be a great idea. if we could put a million or two a year into a fund that would just build on itself, then in a few years it could really be worth a lot and it could continue to pay for improvements, coaches salaries/raises, and other things for years to come.

It just feels really great that, like some of you have noted on your signatures, that we've done a lot with so little, and now that we have this little bit extra garunteed every year, it can go to taking care of business. we've gotten by with what we have, so now we can use this extra to make improvements and stuff and not worry about having to sue it for day to day operations.

This is fantastic news for us. All we have to do is win and get to a bowl game and then everything we have been waiting for will fall into place.

Increase all coaching salaries, hire another fund raiser, increase administrative staff to have the programs run more efficiently, then start a women's golf team to insure that we always have over 200 scholarships. Then if anything left over work on facilities.

Build an academic center similar to what LSU did when Saban came in and put a lot more resources into tutors helping athletes academically. Notice I said help, not do the work for them. If we can't afford an academic facility (building), tutoring aid needs to be increased substantially. This will keep us out of APR trouble, help athletes graduate, and help them stay eligible. Keeping them eligible will translate directly into more wins.
