OP updated for Otec. The Boilermakers finally gave me something. Guess I have no excuse not to make that Fall 2021 thread now 😳 |

Purdue player facilities are as good as any program. Their website shows all the facilities. The money-maker for Purdue and their 13 partners is the Big Ten Network. P5 schools have been converting football TV money into facilities, for some years now. It's a good gig for them, especially with no guarantee that the football TV money will last in current form forever. Bricks do last quite a while, though.
And, as always, gives schools another way to make it appear that athletics is barely bringing in revenues in excess of expenses, if at all.

The High Tech locker rooms are also another one of the bells and whistles used in recruiting. That and the insistence of showing us the football locker room and practice space. That one has never moved the needle for me. |

A much too early preseason 2021 Big Ten ranking: 1. Wisconsin 2. Penn State 3. Ohio State 4. Minnesota 5. Nebraska 6. Purdue 7. Illinois 8. Michigan 9. Northwestern 10. Michigan State 11. Rutgers 12. Indiana 13. Iowa 14. Maryland I would switch Nebraska and OSU Updated prognostications... 1. Badgers 2. Huskers 3. Buckeyes 4. Nittany Lions 5. Boilermakers 6. Gophers 7. Illini 8. Wolverines 9. Wildcats 10. Spartans 11. Terrapins 12. Knights 13. Hoosiers 14. Hawkeyes First eight are tighter than ever and last four is a crapshoot. |

I think we have our first inkling of a scheduled matchup in the Big Ten. Here's Xavier's schedule. Who's Xavier? Listen, it doesn't matter. Look at the Xavier University Tournament. We've got Purdue vs. Louisville at a neutral site on Sept. 10. Thanks for listening. And thanks, Brutus Buckeye |

Welp. I guess I'll wait ANOTHER year to be an open Dana Rettke fan.

LOL, they took down the article. If I were to guess I would assume that the story is correct, but they jumped the gun and she wanted to announce herself or something. I just happened upon it because I was reading the paper at the time it was posted. |
