Message: [QUOTE="BlueMAB, post: 4186683, member: 920"] No, I mentioned one source as evidence that these schools know how to raise money. Most projects are funded through a combination of donations and financing, you know that. You suggested the only option is to build and implied it's virtually impossible.

[/URL] I would have expected you to know schools can renovate. And they also don't even have to pay for it themselves.

[/URL] You're suggesting the only reason to play off campus is because it's impossible to build or renovate an on campus stadium, after DePaul and Nova already have. The schools that choose to play off campus do so because it benefits the schools and the fans in various ways. [/QUOTE]
