BC923 {l Wrote}:Rothstein reporting it’s a go
BCMurt09 {l Wrote}:Just got off the phone with a BC fundraiser. Half-hour call. She said the practice facility is approved, Leahy supports the plans, and now they're just waiting for funding. "Father Leahy won't start building until it's mostly funded."
Sounds like it won't be its own stand-alone facility but a heavy renovation and extension on Conte. I had not heard this before, but it may be common knowledge. She acknowledged that BC lags far behind peers in this regard and mentioned one her own that other programs use the lack of facilities to recruit against BC.
Nothing about the coaching search that none of us already know.

The fundraising for this has taken forever (not that I blame people for not wanting to donate to this basketball program).

Mainly because only 28 people care about this bb program.

Large projects at BC are exclusively funded by large donors. They aren't looking for few hundred here and there. They only look for those sums for General Operations. For things like Stadium Renovation, the New Plex, acquiring lands (be it the seminary, beer can hill, random failed Newton colleges and synagogues), etc... they have a very targeted Rolodex.

Sounds like the tailgate philosophy. BC would rather have just 10 tailgate spots, each donating $10,000 a year than have 1000 tailgate spots, each donating $100 a year.
Its nice to have (some) alumni who can afford that kind of expense.
eagle33 {l Wrote}:How much money needs to be raised for the conte renovation / hoops facility expansion? And if we can't have a donation guage on the website, can we at least have a link to the renderings.

i know there isn't volume with the last rendering, but the official rendering has the model saying "charity stripe" and "downtown" over and over again with a periodic "drexel dragons" thrown in for good measure

I'm trying not to get too worked up about it. I was concerned before the game began and (as it turns out) my concern was legitimate. Three things happened:
- we were missing our layups
- Drexel was hitting 3-pointers
- and at the end when we were fouling to get the ball back to try and get in the game, Drexel hit all their free throws
That happens, you lose. And its not on Coen. The kids are young, our best two players are sophomores. Maybe next year will be different.

At the end of the day, Northeastern just couldn't put the biscuit in the basket enough.
