The 'arms race' should be over, IMO... there's only so much that can be gained by extravagant facilities... is the recruiting bump really that much better from the previous facilities?... certainly not 60 million dollars worth of a bump, I'm sure.
Does stuff like this make better football players?... definitely not... if anything, it makes them more pampered/spoiled. Things like state of the art weight room/training technology, dietary needs, etc. are important.... the dozens of TVs and recreational hot tubs are not.
Obviously Oregon can spend it's money however they want, it just seems like that money could be spent in a way that more directly benefits the product on the field.... or maybe not.

Oregon isn't spending any money , except the the bills to run it . Big Daddy Phil has a team that designs and build it and then he donates it when he's done

OK, Grandpa. If you think the players are skipping offseason workouts to lounge around, you're wrong.
