I'll bet that was more than half the State's GDP. That's a lot of double-wides!

Always a contest between every college to see who can build bigger and badder than the next to "wow" recruits....

Having said that.... I'm in awe.

Probably but that would have been a few yeras old meaning it was obsolete and holding them back in terms of recruiting. Constant upgrades to facilities is just the reality of the college football arms race as everyone seeks to wow recruits with the latest and greatest.
