front page story in today's Washington Post. As the article opens with our friend at Clemson building a $55 million complex just for football that includes nine hole miniature golf course,sand volley courts,laser tag,movie theater,bowling lanes,barber shop and other amenities. It will their home on campus when they are not in class. Critics say this is all about pandering to the fantasies of 18 year olds and has nothing to do with the mission of a university. Very lengthy article spelling out the facilities arms race for football players. As someone noted what is next adding a roller coaster. We can never win this arms race.
