The funds have already been appropriated by the IN Legislature. The recent "shift of gears" by Pres. Bradley re: revised plans means that the IN State Budget Committee (see my prior post) must approve the changes. They don't meet again until April, 2018.

That is simply incorrect. As I stated, the decision is expected to be made (by this 5-man "committee" on October 20th). I would have to say that President Bradley should be credible in this matter.

I think one thing is quite apparent in this thread. Bally (& perhaps WOZ) know quite a bit more than the rest of us. Especially when it comes to the business affairs of Indiana State University. I mean I would have to agree that Pres. Bradley should be credible in this matter. I didn't think someone would could sound more condescending than Bank until Bally surpassed him while replying to him. Well done sir - quite impressive.

My mistake...looks like Oct 20th is the next meeting (as Bally says). "Condescending" is SSOM's term, never my intent. Typical over reaction of his.

Terre Haute now trying to put a "band-aid" over a massive wound...that's all we need, is another 90-day delay:

Again, we can OVERCOME this "local" control issue by sending thoughts to the members of the Budget Committee listed above. Frankly, ISU is "better off" going alone on this project. ISU will control HC, not people like Judy Anderson and John Marvel.

Btw, read the VERY LAST of this article (hidden in small print
re: the hiring of Rachel Leslie:http://www.tribstar.com/news/local_...cle_922156c0-3c7f-5275-b4a7-4aa32bec2138.html
Is she even a REGISTERED lobbyist in Indiana? If not, her voice for TH should be "mute."

Here's a copy of MY correspondence to the IN State Budget Committee following today's Trib-Star news:
--------------------------------------
Dear Budget Committee Members:
On October 20th you will meet to decide the fate of ISU Pres. Daniel Bradley's proposal to go forward with ISU's "independent" plan to renovate Hulman Center with the support of $37.5m of Hoosier-supported revenue. Dr. Bradley studied this decision long & hard after personally witnessing the "conflicts of patronage" involving Terre Haute & Vigo County politicians, who are currently under FBI investigation for "pay to play" contract fraud. There is also a SIMILAR private lawsuit including Terre Haute as a party in "pay to play" contracting involving local government. Parallel to these issues, the local Vigo County School Corporation (VCSC) is still under FBI investigation for similar "pay to play" executive fraud, during which two (2) key employees were prosecuted and plead guilty.
In a nutshell, Dr. Bradley is seeking to AVOID any impropriety(s) associated with the Hulman Center Construction and Management, thus seeking to keep LOCAL POLITICS out of this deal. I should also note the current very low BOND RATING status of local government, which if added as a co-party to the HC Project, would inevitably drive final costs higher.
I disagree w/ the premise of the following article, feeling that it is in best interest of Indiana State University to complete this project without the City of Terre Haute and Vigo County polluting the chemistry of Dr. Bradley's initiative, and protecting Hoosier citizens from untrustworthy government "leaders."

Sincerely,

Hulman Center Neighbor Questions TH Fiscal Condition

Finally some real info...
"Construction for the Hulman Center is scheduled to commence following the 2017-18 men's and women's basketball seasons and renovation work is anticipated to occur over approximately 26 months. The university will continue to hold limited activities during the renovation period."

The 26 month number is a downer. This is what I had heard and was told hoops would be displaced for two years.
Wonder if we'll be playing our home games at Rose?

According to the article in the TribStar, limited activities in the Hulman Center including commencement and basketball will remain in the Hulman Center.
This is my understanding as well. But, probably only conference games. Most of our non conference will be on the road.
That's a positive. Sounds like they made changes because I'd heard from multiple people that the hoops team would be unable to use the facility for one season during renovations and that it wasn't well received.
Yes! Finally renovation to the Hulman Center! Now we gotta do this the right way, can't wait to see the renderings and plans for this project.
Also, can/will ISU have a separate campaign to raise some more money towards this project. I would think people would be willing to open up their pockets if they KNEW that their money was going towards specific part of the Hulman Center renovation.
