products will be much more elaborate than the specs lead on. Also I think things will be added along the way. Everything new will be even more state of the art than the brand new academic center for athletes.

Right now is the time to put your money in if you have not done so. Sometimes it seems like the biggest complainers about facilities and conditions -- not just limited to sports -- are from those who do not open their wallets. 

Reality is that if you pay in you get to have some say- even if it's just a voice on an issue.  Kind of like the if you don't vote don't bitch approach. 

If someone could gather up a number of folks on here to donate as one, that might be a good thing. I've been involved in politics all my life and I will tell you that one person delivering say $50,000 in checks from 100 people gets noticed.  Did that after a state governor's election with a group I belong to and there was a noticeable and good reaction. 

So if this building happens, I disagree that UF will be BEHIND many programs. Saying so does not make it so. I will say that UF will be top 5 in SEC and top 15 across all schools. Book it. 

So who is going to collect the $$$? Could this group commit to say $100K? $50K gets the Tigert Society for the VS. I'll pay in $1,000 separately as long as there are 49 others as a group.
