CKA - The Good and The "Bad"

[Shock Top]

This article was interesting in highlighting what is great about CKA, and where it is falling behind. As well as what other similar programs are doing to improve their facilities.

If ever there was a time to throw big cash at the Chuck or build "The House That Gregg Built" and put WSU at the very top, now would be that time.

I respect CK and all that he has done for WSU and Wichita, but I sometimes wish he was more like T-Boone.

He could buy out T-Boone and never even have to go to the bank.

When you say more like T-Boone, do you mean make promises and then when paper money disappears, tell them you can't finish it?

I kid because I care.

Ha! Fair enough!

I just know if I had Chuck's money, people would envy WSU even more than they do now! :)

I mean david gave $60M for some fountains!

Imagine what WSU could do with $60M in athletics and the inovation campus!

Like I said, CK is a good man and Wichita has a lot to thank him for, but I just wish he was a little flashier! Haha

Then again, that's probably part of what's has made him so successful :)

That VCU basketball facility looks sick.

I just want new lighting. We NEED to be able to turn the lights off (technically just cover them) and play an amazing pregame intro video. They can just play the college gameday hype video from a view years ago. Could you imagine the atmosphere in CKA if they did that....

If you don't get an erection watching that video leave this site and never come back.

I agree about the lighting. The cell phone thing that Illinois State did at St Louis was pretty cool. Can't do that sort of stuff with the current lighting.

You want prophecy? HCGM's final words in the 11-12 intro video:

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

If you haven't seen it, you should make a road trip to Springfield to see Missouri States JQH Arena. It is a fantastic basketball arena, and far nicer than CKA. You would be shocked given MSU's level of success. I know everyone loves CKA, but it's 62 years old and some things can't be fixed (e.g. Leg room). Not sure what the answer is, but I'm not sure it is to keep throwing money at CKA.

Yes. Way behind on that front.

Also, didn't they take those speakers out that projected sound in the upper level? It doesn't sound as loud as I remember it once was. (They need to bump better music why they are at it)
