What the deal with all this money they talking about…who said anything about money?
Sounds like uninformed social media chatter to me.
Can’t give that type of stuff too much air.

Same thing I was wondering. I thought we been broke 🤷🏾♂️. That was always one of my complaints anyways.
I wonder how much of this talk would be going on if we were winning.
I believe a lot of this could have been avoided had the school been transparent from jump and made preparations for the desired conference move back in 2015 when the study about which conference was best for us was completed. I’m beginning to believe the study was commissioned from an academics standpoint and not an athletics standpoint.
These cats remind me of the two old guys on The Muppet Show 😂. That being typed, they lived it so they have every right to complain.

Clearly the moves weren’t explained to the players well enough.
The S&C complaints are definitely valid. The locker room, dorms and facilities, overall money issues, not so much.

It is true about the scholarship players having to pay for a lot of the housing. No one really gets a full ride.

They have a soda straw view of the world, perspective comes with exposure to more than familiar surroundings.

Informed the State of NC on yesterday that is due to A&T due to several decades of intentional underfunding. |

It is true about the scholarship players having to pay for a lot of the housing. No one really gets a full ride. That's because they made the choice to live off campus. Schlorship players get room and board in there Schlorship contact . Now if no housing is available on campus most programs that I know of will pay for an apartment complex or Hotel to house there athletes until the housing issue on campus is rectified on campus or the will provide the athletes with a Cola stipend to pay for their apartment or rental property . |

Those funds are not connected to Athletics . Yes, that is common knowledge. But it’s been mentioned in this debate about the lack of housing (even though we house more than the average university) and those funds support housing, infrastructure etc. And that $2.1 billion could make a lot of things happen for the Academic institution (our first mission) as a whole. |
