If I remember correctly, when Lambright was originally completed it was pretty cutting edge. I remember being told on a visit that a committee from Auburn had recently visited to check it out as they prepared to upgrade their facilities.
The proposed changes would not necessarily make the facility cutting edge, but it would make it very competitive with major universities. Like TP says, there is no reason anyone who cares about the growth of Tech could rationally vote against this. Unfortunately, I'm afraid all those LSUsers (LSU-losers) that feel "stuck" at Tech to keep their fees low.
So, if this does not pass, it means the LSUsers at Tech win. Nobody wants that, do they?
