From the article referenced above:
"Talk of a move had increased after the university received state funding for a $60 million sports center."

60 Million for a sports center? Unbelievable!! McNeese is trying to privately raise money for a 2.5 million field house renovation. Our state doesn't give that kinda of money to anyone (unless you are LSU).

Might as well point out that Northern Kentucky doesn't have a football team. They do have some darn good basketball teams though.

Hmm, could be a typo or something. Maybe 6 million.
