I don't know the specifics, but you're correct, it was under budget. I think we were lucky with the weather, so everything kinda flowed smoothly. (The BB Arena remodeling is still being done.
As far as an anti Saluki Way movement, it was proposed and financed before things bottomed out, but there are always naysayers. And to be frank, very few football programs (FCS or FBS) are in the black.

Is there still a movement against the Saluki Way Project? I would think this would get some of the students that have concerns about the cost of the project to reconsider and support it. Also, I understand the Saluki Way was originally a 100 million dollar project and is now in the 80 million dollar range. Has it been reduced due to lower construction cost or fund raising issues?
I would say that WSU would start need to start at FCS football and see how that does. Funding would be the key factor for its success. I don't think raising fees or a tax would work in Wichita IMO. We have been hit hard by the recession and a tax increase or student fee hike may backfire and build resentment against the new program. If a donor or donors could front the cost in the first 5 years, that would be ideal.

Speaking of that movie, I was quite disappointed that instead of giving WSU a mention regarding getting an exception from the NCAA to play freshmen, they went with stating the facts incorrectly. It would have been a very nice gesture, but they missed it.

I'm currently a student at WSU, received a survey today in my e-mail asking questions, some of which were about football, such as:
"Would you have more school spirit if WSU brought football back?"
"Would you be willing to pay $100 per semester in student fees so WSU can have a football team?"
Not sure if this is anything new or if they've been doing this for a while.
