HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Marshall University announced Tuesday it will begin construction in the next two weeks on new locker and team meeting rooms for both basketball teams.

The locker rooms, measured at 3,100 square feet each, will be under the south stands at the Cam Henderson Center. The rooms will feature film rooms, lounges for the players and coaches, locker rooms, flat screen televisions, kitchens and a larger storage area.

The project is expected to cost around $2 million. Marshall has about $800,000 of the total from ticket sales and a private donor. The rest will come through a fund-raising project.

Once the project is completed, the current home locker rooms will become the locker rooms for the visiting team.

i like how the money i pay for an education goes toward athletics. 300 hundred dollars in "other" fees that are in no way academic related, i guess its helping pay for that big flat screen tv they need so bad. i sure could use that money to pay for books.

How about we use the money to SUPPORT SNYDERS BUYOUT????

always spending money on athletics instead of academics. 2 million dollars could go a long way to improving classrooms, buying new chairs, etc

I noticed in the interview that Kopp did not mention the loss of season ticket sales. I think people should just by tix by the game instead of season tix, so that Snyder does not get the bonus for season tix sales. Of course we should win 6 games next season with the addition of 1-AA opps, but he should be fired if we are not successful in the C-USA tournament.

Maybe the baseball team can practice in the old visiting team locker rooms!!!

meanwhile the baseball team that actually wins CUSA Tourny Games (unlike Basketball) is forced to play a season on the road again...

I guess the Baseball team doesn't bring in enough money to get a ball field
