Also keep in mind that, per Coach Brown's contract, the new turf practice field has to be installed by fall 2025. That means we are scheduled to have two different multi-million dollar constructions projects take place at the football complex at the exact same time. Based on our track record, I have some doubts. Then Coach Brown can walk away if he decides to do so without penalty. Right and unless he goes 11-1 and makes a run in the playoffs, I don't see him doing that.

I think we also have to relocate the current softball field in order to install the new turf practice football field, so that would be (3) multi-million dollar constructions projects happening at the exact same time. Is the relocation of the Radio tower included in those three? Project Description North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NCATSU) seeks design services from Engineering Firms, with a focus of radio tower for a New Radio Tower to be located at Gateway ParkNorth Campus. The project will consists of erecting a new radio tower at Gateway Park North Campusand dismantle of the current radio tower on main campus. Project Scope A total project budget of $2,200,000 is approved for the Design Services, Construction, Equipment,Commissioning, Special Inspections and Contingencies. Design Services will produce constructiondocument preparation, assistance with bid documents, cost estimating, construction administration andcloseout. Past performance on radio tower projects is desired. Project Schedule The design services shall be completed by December 2024 with construction beginning in May 2025. safe.menlosecurity.com/doc/docview/viewer/docN97FDEDC59A50a3ea085c5bb8bf300c6e26993e2fc3ed78903c2b71c93707ba7fd34e9b541cd9

No, I'm not saying that. Just that if there are delays in the project, I can't see him walking away from the final years of his contract. He's not in a position where he would be an attractive candidate as a head coach at any other school.

He's not in a position where he would be an attractive candidate as a head coach at any other school. if he has another 1-10 season or anything close to it, ain't nobody else gonna hire him as a head coach. he may however find another dc job but i doubt that it would pay him as much as he's currently making. so i agree, he ain't walking away from his contract whether the facility enhances are completed on time or not. now if he has a 9-2 season or something close to it, perhaps he "might" become marketable as a head coach candidate and would give him the "leverage" he needs to hold our administration to account for the improvements...

We can just continue to operate business as usual because he is not in a position now to get a better job.

Better title, no. But could walk away and probably make more as an FBS position coach tomorrow if he were so inclined.

It would still look bad if we weren't honoring the terms of our agreements.

What improvements are scheduled for this Summer for the War? The fact that no one here can really answer that questions is all you need to know. The last I heard, demolition of the outfield bleachers was the main thing on the offseason agenda but Dr. Pompei and Earl Hilton have been purposely vague about the actual plan whenever they talk about stadium renovations.

Based on what we have seen with the baseball stadium, those BOT slides mean absolutely nothing.

We probably won't see any major construction for the locker rooms, turf, or tower removal until the end of the football season this winter.

Our first choice is the firm that designed NC State's www.daviskane.com/projects/ncsu-wendell/NC State Athletics wanted to renovate the existing Murphy Football Center locker room with an updated appearance and feel to appeal to the modern-day collegiate athlete. The renovation began with a study and visioning, resulting in a computer-generated “fly-through” 3D model of the proposed layout. The 3D images helped in NC State’s final approval of a design concept. The renovation included over 4,700 square feet of space, including new lockers, lighting, finishes, and state-of-the-art audio/visual technology. Unique “wow-factor” graphics were also developed and installed as part of the project.
