Got a press release in my work mail box today (the old kind of mail box, not my e-mail in-box) from the University of Dayton. Release talks about how the school's multi-sport, on-campus practice facility has been given a new name (Cronin Athletics Center) and will undergo a major renovation project this summer.

The project will create new offices, meeting spaces, film rooms and technology suits for UD's most prominent sports programs -- men's basketball, women's basketball (!) and vollyeball (!!).

When completed, the release adds, the 9,000-square foot project will also create additional space for the Office of Academic Services for Student Athletes, as well as other UD athletic programs.

Which begs the question: if Dayton has a 9,000 square-foot practice facility for all 17 of its programs, and make major renovations to accomodate its volleyball program, why the heck can't UConn build a practice facility for its national championship basketball team(s).

Just wondering.
