Well, for starters, I have a relative in an office job at Troy. I won't say which office, but they had a bunch of people quit. Instead of hiring new people, she absorbed 3 other people's jobs. And still has days when she's bored to death. Cut back on needless jobs. Yes, I know, budget was cut back by a little, but still not enough. I'm not nearly the insider some of you are, so I get that I don't understand everything to the same level some people do. But I can do simple math that says it's not good business. So your answer to parking is fire "needless employees"? You must be planning on canning a bunch to relieve the parking situation. Who is to say which employee is "needless", you? You say you have little "insider" information but then say there are a ton of "needless" employees who take up parking spaces. Don't see how you come to that interesting conclusion without bring very involves in a lot of areas personally where you could observe the actual work loads. Otherwise you are simply repeating what you are told. I agree we need a tall parking garage and across from the stadium seems like a good place but that's just my thoughts. I do believe you asked me what my first step would be. I thought I made it clear enough that would be an overall scheme. No, I wouldn't get rid of employees just to clear parking. But good sarcasm.

So let's take funds away from our field house or other campus needs so we can build a parking garage so no one has to walk 2-5 minutes farther 03-banghead Wait they take funds away funds from the athletic department to build monuments to our academic excellence? Please note: Mr. Ho never post after page 1, but this too easy.

Nope, your wrong! Here again is what I ask and "your first step" is nowhere to be found. "Ok, for the fun of it you are in charge......Exactly what do YOU do to FIX IT? Inquiring minds want to know!"

Excuse me, I thought you meant as a whole, since that was what the main subject was. My first step, is actually take the money you're taking from students and put it to use. And yes, if it's so bad, take money from a field house. I don't expect it to be here anytime soon. And frankly, with how we play, it's not like our level of play says we need a higher level of surroundings. Maybe if we could sell some unused seating, make the stadium look smaller, and therefore easier to say we sold out a game. Lol

Nothing is more important to some than a place to park! Somewhere you missed the point but it's not worth the effort. Hang in there, if parking is your worse issue in life you're set in for a great ride. Good luck!

Once again, although I did not state "I'M SPEAKING OF PARKING!" I figured someone would pick up the gist that what I said about parking was an example. I honestly think field house should be bottom priority. It'd be lovely to have a nice field house. It would also be lovely to have better parking, better dining areas, and a broader degree field first and foremost. You can't expect the school to thrive whenever it's known as solely a "teachers school" to people who didn't graduate from Troy.

Just to stir the pot, if we had that many that gave we would've broke ground already, this has been a four year project so far. Also, the state regulates the majors that a university has, not the school itself. Take the lack of majors up with the state of Alabama education department.

I don't recall anything stating that the Nursing Doctoral program was held up by the state. I believe that falls on each individual school and what they can get interest in, funding for, and accredited. I could be wrong, as I commonly am, but I'd like to read up on that. Do you have a link that you could share in regards to adding to a curriculum? Also, why do you think that beer sales were approved? It's rhetorical because you've answered it already...

I asked a few music professors one time why we didn't have a performance degree and was told that the state wouldn't let us have one because Auburn, Alabama and USA have one already and they won't let you have a too many schools with one major for so many miles.
I may be wrong, just going with what I was told

Clarify your statement about if we have that many that gave we would have broken ground already. If you have 100 of them giving at $1000 to $1500 a year that still wouldn't be enough in four years to break ground. That's one of the reasons we need everyone to give. We don't have a lot of million dollar donors around Troy I think I'll have a beer.

Hemi, after trying to read this last post I think you better lay off the beers for a while!HA HA HA OH, I agree completely with you.......I think. HA HA That's the point I tried to make to the young man. Since I was a teacher, I find no issue with being known as a teacher university. Rather have Fine Arts, maybe one more law degree school so we can get a few thousand more lawyers. Also I've never been able to comprehend why a student would attend a university and sit around and bad mouth it. Da-- it's easy to withdraw and go to that university that does it your way. Same dang thing I feel about folks that don't like this country. A plane leaves every second.....pick one!

Sorry guys, didn't mean to badmouth or complain about the university (football is a different story of complaint). Just sharing thoughts about how to make the university better.

" Rather have Fine Arts, maybe one more law degree school so we can get a few thousand more lawyers."
Whew, that's the last thing we need. You might have been being sarcastic though. The ABA needs to step up and raise standards enough to close about 75 schools that are operating virtually criminally predatory enterprises. My home state is a particularly abhorrent example of this practice, with ... about 16 law schools now. Still none worse than "The People's School of Law" is California!!!
Then again, if something could be done with that joke of a law school in Montgomery(Jones @ Faulkner), a bargain-basement tuition price might allow Troy to be the Samford of South Alabama, problem being that Dothan/Troy isn't exactly Birmingham's equal. Either way you'd be letting in the worst-of-the-worst-probably-shouldn't-be-lawyers - anyone with sense in Alabama goes TO "Bammer" or maybe Cumberland. No offense to any with family/friends at Jones, but anecdotal stories of success do not make the school a smart bet.
Then again, 3 accredited law schools plus one Alabama-only school is probably too much for such a small state. Especially given what a great school Alabama is and how respectable Samford is for a low-ranked school.

I'm curious as to whether the Arena set us back financially towards the field house? It is beautiful for sure but maybe built to nice money wise. With the exception of the very first game, attendance is really no better than Sartain. Recruiting is better, I think. I love the arena but just curious if we went overboard on it. Thoughts???

I think the opportunity to upgrade a lot of facilities under one roof instead of just football was too great. And we get to say we have arguably the nicest stadium in the country at the moment.

It is beautiful for sure but I hope it doesn't derail the #1 revenue producing sport at Troy. It is also very difficult to even half fill it let alone fill it. We did it at the first game but attendance has run 1,000-2,000 for most games which is 20-30% filled.

It might seem a little bush league, but it would've been nice to build Trojan arena backing up to the football field and we wouldn't even be talking about a whole other complex.
