basketball has no practice gym and is not even close to being on par with other schools in the state in terms or money (Xavier, UC, Dayton) all far out pace OHIO
I was out at O.U. last November.
When I was there I went to see Aquatic Center for the first time.
I was a bit surprised when I saw the article in The Post about replacing both Bird Arena and the Aquatic Center.
The Aquatic Center looked pretty good to me.
That's as an Alum and an engineer (we never turn it off).
From reading the article,a new aquatic center seems more a matter of convenience (centralized location) then anything else.
The one justification of using heat from an ice arena to heat the pool is a non-sequitur.
Just run an insulated pipe from the new arena to the pool.
Geez,NYC runs steam all over the city.
No question a new ice arena makes sense.
Just leave the pool alone and use the new pool area for a B.B. practice facility.
If O.U. does have its heart set on a new Aquatic Center,I guess you could use the area where the current one is for a B.B. practice facility,and other things.
