Going to be a total rebuild. But it had to come eventually.

am I reading too deep into this Well, unless he frequently tweets about college football facilities, this seems like it was probably referring to Penn State. Also, outdated facilities can lose you more than just recruits. It can lose you coaches too. Like, for example, Virginia's football coach that just resigned in part due to their facilities. In Penn State's case, if they had top facilities, would have they have been able to hire someone that they missed out on? Hard to say, but it wouldn't hurt.

Ironically, at a recent tournament, I spoke with a PSA who attended PSU's College ID camp this past summer. It was her first stop for summer camps. Interesting to note, she absolutley adored KSC and the staff (was a little intimidated by RR but that is to be expected), was really impressed with the campus, Rec Hall the natty trophies etc... She mentioned she went on to visit her next B1G school and a few more in the ACC and was blown away by the volleyball specific facilities each of the other schools recently built.(in fairness, she did also say that the other schools did not have the PSU legacy) A PSA that attended the PSU camp with her (a year older) who recently commited to a school in the ACC, cited the difference in facilities as one of the reasons she commited.

Yeah, really only Stanford has the PSU legacy, so they'll always have that. But differences in facilities are a real factor in college recruiting these days.

Yeah, but the old barn has character ... reminds me of "This Old House".

You could go the route OSU did. Build a separate arena for WVB. At a capacity exceeding who turns up at St. Johns, even when a Big B1G team comes to town. And then get could and not begin to seat all the fans that want to see it. That worked out well for them.

Nebraska certainly has that legacy, unless you’re just counting trophies.

Nebraska is in the best shape of the three right now, though.

Nebraska is in the best shape of the three right now, though. Again, only in title count. Championship teams, legendary coaches, Olympian’s, popularity…. Just my opinion

Championship teams, legendary coaches, Olympian’s, popularity…. Just my opinion Championships are the single most important factor for legacy in my view, especially since Penn State's titles are all relatively recent (oldest is 1999). Nebraska's titles are relatively recent too (oldest is 1995), but they have five, while Penn State has seven. So I have Penn State ahead. Just how I look at it.

Just my opinion Championships are the single most important factor for legacy in my view, especially since Penn State's titles are all relatively recent (oldest is 1999). and that time when they literally won 4 in a row. That’s an INSANE feat that I don’t think will ever be repeated.

That’s an INSANE feat that I don’t think will ever be repeated. For sure. Penn State doesn't just have seven titles (and four straight), but they also have the 109-match win streak and the best team ever in 2008.

Their back row people never got the credit they deserved, they balled out.
