Good, looks like the Knights are trying more to offset their heavy debt load by doing the prudent thing, and trying hard to get private donations.

Both projects are fully funded. Current donations + pledges  that are collected over time. Better said, when you loo at the pledges and $ to be collected, they will have the total amount, from private resources.

that bldg has been in the works for a few months. looks like their stadium will have a mini doak campbell look to it if they ever fully facade it with brick and whatnot.

 

they have definitely had some good luck with some very generous donors in the past year or two. that, coupled with coaching stability with O'Leary, they're able to do some of those nice things and dig out of debt. (side note: winning the fiesta bowl doesn't really pay out much, thus why these donors are important)

That's not a facade and it hasn't started yet .... but the $100K gifts info look to be accurate, though.  ;)

Correct, it is a leadership center for student athletes as well as a special seating section for the East side. The special seating is right in the middle of the camera view, from the tower so that UCF will be able to build a better "ambiance"for televised games  as well as fans purchasing seats in the "Tiki" section.

 

Stansbury wants to appeal to visiting parents and athletes by displaying the leadership center as a center for athlete academic excellence.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
