Are there any funding initiatives for a basketball/volleyball practice facility?

Medical/mental health care, improved nutrition, etc. Have a feeling we're not going to see any practice facilities for several years.

Also re: scheduling, views on home games compared to getting an extra game or two on the road against a "quality opponent" that could end up as a Q1/Q2 game.

For Coach Boals: How does the coaching staff envision using the combination of new recruits and the players who remained from Saul's coaching staff? Would they play 9-10 players, or have a tighter rotation? For Jim Schaus: How does he envision using the solicited feedback from the emails that went out? What changes, if there are examples, could he mention now? Back to Top . General User Member Since: 2/3/2005 Post Count: 2,969 Status: Offline     RE: Cincinnati Bobcat Caravan    Posted: 4/17/2019 2:37:54 PM  For Schaus: How much effort has gone into asking the community for help in operations, as budgets get tighter and tighter? Is this even possible with liability and union employee issues at play? There are so many little, inexpensive fixes that could be done to Peden Stadium and the Convo that would help improve gameday experience, from a coat of paint to certain areas, to powerwashing concrete to simply sweeping up in corners of the stadium. Just little things that elevate the experience. And does he feel there are people who would be willing to volunteer to help with these things? I've always wondered if we weren't under-utilizing a group of people who would like to take action rather than just complain about things. Then I've always wondered if there were reasons we didn't or if I'm overestimating the number of people who would like to help.

If not that would be a pretty bad bureaucracy to not even listen to your athletic director.

The things that were mentioned (or are always mentioned) aren't even budget busters or things that should require a vote at the Board of Directors. We're talking paint, more effective exterior lighting, power washing and some sweeping, and some better promotional banners inside and outside.

I tell you what... even Schaus was excited and approachable. Boals knows what he is doing folks. Buckle up! Solich is damn good. I can see why he has turned this program around. We are blessed right now and the Alumni should open up and support.
