[quote=“Mr. Bojangles, post:18, topic:8049”][quote=“The White Samurai, post:17, topic:8049”]I’d say there’s a strong possibility we’ll be playing football at Charlotte in the near future.

It will never happen!! Bonnie Cone’s paralyzed grandson will never allow it!![/quote] Not to mention that our athletic director hates the idea. Its a pipe dream fueled by fantasy dollars.[/quote]
Plus, wouldn’t the money be better spent on academics?

We cant start football until our basketball games are always sold out - don’t you people know that?

Guys, I’m serious. We’re going to play in a stadium that cost over $40 million (Real American TM) to build.

I will bet my house on the fact that we are playing football by no later than August 31, 2013, at noon ET.

So what you’re saying is that if the game clock hasn’t started by 12:00:00 PM on 8/31/13, somebody gets your house. You better hope that nothing delays kickoff a single minute past noon, or else that day might not turn out so great.

Saw the write-up on the Hooters chairman who died last week. This dude (who is a clempzen grad) gave Coastal Carolina $2 mil for their football program and their stadium bears his name. Now is it clear what it takes just to start up even a piddling program? We need a benefactor like this guy, but we have 2 chances of that happening: (1) slim (2) none.

Looks like we topped CC 5:1 on the benefactor front. And that’s just for the stadium name.

[Niner_National]

All in, we received 14 million for naming rights right?

$10 million for stadium name
$2 million for field name (less than the 2.5 asked)
$2 million for field house name

Right?

To my knowledge the AD has never confirmed EXACTLY what was given for the field name.

I’ll bet you syd4. No way we kick off a noon game by 12.

LOL, good point. Syd definitely did not think that one through!

No I wasn’t. There was a “slim” chance, and “slim” won out! ;D
