Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4477745, member: 44"] I think you know the answer to this. Because we are a state agency, we pay a premium for labor, which makes anything we build more expensive. When we pitch to the legislature, some numbers just sound too high and wouldn’t get the necessary votes. So, we end up compromising on the initial construction and making it up down the line. It is much less cost-effective, and inevitably involves some compromises. Still, I would much rather be a state university than a private one. Would I rather have a 12,500 seat Gampel, a 5000 seat Toscano, and an on-campus football stadium? Of course, but what we have is pretty nice. [/QUOTE]
