Here’s what it takes to feed the UT Football Team -> czcams.com/video/DO_JQ6K__Sk/video.html
Hey can you do the Fordham Men’s Basketball facility and locker room?
THIS is how you recruit athletes who wouldn't otherwise consider your program; show them you're invested! I understand that the new weight room is shared by all sports, but it's better than many major D1 rooms. Good job NAU 👍
Except women sports. Known of those make the school money.
@@satanspit4101 Actually, NAU is probably all around the best in the conference for women's programs. Every team is competitive, and cross country is getting real close to getting a Natty some time over the next few years. Same with track and field.
This is a perfect example of non power 5 division 1 schools being high quality. I tell my players to seek these universities out in the recruiting process. If you have the grades and the film they’ll take you
Construction on this building began about 2 years ago. Coincidentally at the same time COVID hit. NAU's response to the pandemic was to make massive cuts to the staff and department budgets. While at the same time beginning construction on a $47M sports complex. This was the 5th sports complex on campus. It's just a bad look.
It's not like they could unspend the money...
Every time I have to walk or drive past that building it makes me so mad knowing teachers I have had classes with and liked got fired while they built this building. Really upsetting stuff
@@ApplePi31415 reinvest that into education. Duh. It's a university, it's goal should be education
@@traviswilson36 idk what the deal is with nau but at the school I competed for, most of the money spent on athletics came from donors who specifically donated to the athletics department. If people want more money for education then lobby for some rich people or the state to give more.
@@ApplePi31415 lmao you are a college dropout
I’m happy schools are really starting to invest in track/xc. Oregon, NAU, Arkansas, and ole miss have all expanded and upgraded their facilities recently.
I started college at NAU and graduated from Ole Miss!
Agree because everybody cannot be great at basketball and football. You need football to be good to stabilize your other programs. There is nothing wrong with your school being great at baseball, hockey, tennis, golf, track or swimming.
Tucson guy here and this is awesome. Flagstaff is a hidden gem, especially in the summer when Phoenix and Tucson are in the 100+ temps... Great work NAU!!!!
Never heard of this school until this video. They were smart to get on this channel and get some exposure that will help boost the program.
It's in a really beautiful area as well as you can see. I live in Phoenix but I try and take a drive up to Flagstaff a couple of times a year.
They won 4 NCAA D1 Titles in the past 5 years for Cross Country mainly because the elevation is high in Flagstaff but that led to them building this building
I’m down in Phoenix, nice to see Arizona get represented. For anyone wondering, yes, Flagstaff is in a gorgeous pine forest at high elevation. Plenty of winter sports too. Go Lumberjacks!
That’s were my tuition money went to 😂
That or the retiling of the union
Just showed this to my dad who ran XC and Track for NAU back in the day, and said “Shoot…all we had was a small shack next to the outside track!!” 🤣🤣
I am a student here at NAU and have been seeing this building get built since I was a freshman. Love to see NAU getting some proper recognition and showing we're a real competitor! Skojacks
Best Cross Country program in the country right now
So nice to see NAU spend so much money on athletes when other programs could use at least an elevator that works lol. This does seem super cool but I would love too see my school also fix existing problems too :/
What elevator doesn’t work?
@@eliseadler2931 a lot of the dorms have Elevators that don’t work.
I go to NAU and nobody I knew was in a dorm with broken elevators. Ik they broke for like a day but they were never consistently broken
@@eliseadler2931 it’s not just about dorms. It’s about everywhere. Dorms are a small part of it. But go off
@@eliseadler2931 that’s not even to mention how some of our science labs are lacking in equipment. How our physics lab is behind. Students pay to go to school here. Our money shouldn’t go towards athletes. The money they make from games should. But they don’t make any because no one goes they give away so many free tickets. It’s embarrassing for me whenever we play. We have so many empty seats. I feel bad for students. I got a free ride just because I can catch a ball. Well they pay to go here.
Fight fight fight for NAU!
Kinda wild how such a small program can spend so much on this, really makes you appreciate how fucked up and overpriced college is
Or how they only care about sports
Chorizo
Wish you could have visited UT- San Antonio when you were in TX. The university has invested in its student athletes with a newly built athletic center. Coach Traylor is doing something great with the football program.
Always finding these gem schools and facilities!!
You can tell the level of thought that went in to this building. Very well done. Another awesome video.
But they won't even let the students use it when they made us pay a fee! :)
I ride past this building every day riding the bus to class. I watched it get built beginning to end, always wondered what it actually was. Good video
Fun Fact. NAU had a student poll around 2008, they asked if students would be willing to pay $800 more a year so NAU could build this new "athlete center".
It was overwhelmingly voted no.
Guess they didnt care.
The altitude chamber is really awesome!
Sure it's a great and nice looking center. But what needs to be considered is that there are many buildings at NAU with asbestos that desperately need to be renovated. There are dorms with it, academic buildings, and other areas across campus. There are many buildings that need the help that the money could've gone too. One such example is the music building where they have elevators from who knows when and stop causing students to become stuck in them. There are also the many professors that were laid off where their pay most likely went to this center. I understand that many may want this. But there are other areas on campus that really need that money too.
Amazing facility 💯
This is really cool. No wonder NAU football got the #2 recruiting class in FCS just from showing this before it was even finished! Good things are in store.
Can you do the last arizona school:) please U of A😤🐻⬇️
I go to school here. I think they should take the fence around the field down, it was a public field before athletes got to it. They can keep it, just give it back to the rest of us ok?
Wow, great looking building!
Let's go Ice Jacks!
would be cool to do this for the Fieldhouse when it's finished.
This Eastern Eagle is a little envious right about now...Very nice digs guys! Well done.
You guys gotta check out the Walter facility at northwestern. That place is nuts
YESS I second this I’ve been it’s nuts
Please come to the university of Wisconsin. I played on camp Randall for the state tournament it's an amazing experience!!
cool, but would love if funding could be distributed equally amongst student interests
If you compete against their distance runners your basically running against future olympians
Gotta go see the new West Virginia University football facility. Insanely nice.
You guys gotta go to Wyoming and check out their new facility
Yet our dorms are outdated and falling apart and the art building looks like it hasn’t been cleaned or updated in 5 years
You're bitching in the wrong forum. I think an online school might be more to your liking
As a Buckeye alum, when I saw the Honing Stone, I immediately thought of the rubbing of the head @ Thompson Library.
He use to Nice Kicks celebrity sneaker reviews didn’t he?? That’s Motivation!
I absolutely love this. Giving content to all who wonder what it is really like in some of the top college sport facilities in the nation. I would suggest the facilities at University of Louisville. They have really great baseball, football, and basketball. There's also not a lot of content on it, you should check it out. Love the channel and the content. So sick.
Do Montana state! Love to see the smaller schools!
💩😂
Did you guys tour Bank Bell Park while in AZ? Largest outdoor sports park in NA
I think a James Madison or a Sam Houston state football facilities tour would be cool
Can you do university of Arizona
I love this
Flagstaff: Hipster mountain town
Please do Iowa States Stark Performance Center next 🙏
y’all need to go checkout Kansas facility!
Really nice facility
Go Lumberjacks 😎
As an NAU student and Studnet employee, do i wish the staff got a rise, yes, but this athleteic center is super cool.
Same lol been earing $12.15 for 2 years now 🥲
@@amietran3655 At least we are getting a rise next semster
You should visit Iowa State’s new student athlete facility
We should do Virginia Tech
GO JACKS!!!
Spending all that time talking about how nice the ponderosa pine trees are is hypocritical considering all the trees REMOVED to build this. There was a beautiful wall of forest surrounding that practice field and they tore it all down for this building.
Nobody cares Jen. What was it 15 trees? Jesus
What sports do NAU generally do well in? Ik they’re good at cross country but what else
Swimming I have heard they are good. Also they are decent at football. They're in the FCS but they get 5-7 wins every couple of years.
Track and cross country. Football never as good as they should be with the increase in high school talent in Arizona.
@@dilby3246 thanks bud
Cross country, track & field, volleyball, they’re football is pretty good and getting better. Swim & dive also very good. I played volleyball there and we went to NCAA tournament a couple times
Cross coutry is our top one i think, which leans into track as well
Can u do more nau videos
Kevin Daniels !!!
speechless
how is there snow?
Nice facility for a FCS school
do maryland’s new football facilities
I agree. That new football weight room might be the best there is
@@turkishdelight6032 facts, glad you agree. maryland really needed the upgrade
Do Tory University football team!!!
You should do a “What it takes to feed the isu athletes”
Do Keiser University
Can we get videos of hbcu schools
SOON
Thank you for going to a smaller school
My uncle went to nau
He was a point Guard Josh Wilson
Do Boise state let’s see the blue field
Have you watched this video yet? 👉 czcams.com/video/CKn5VzHXQ9U/video.html
Love the video but stop playing you know we want the LSU tour
I saw an LSU one last week. It was the dining facility for athletes.
Wonder what they'd do with a P5 budget.
you wonder why tuition has skyrocketed this is one of the reasons
9:20
Show me Cosmas :)
Must be great to be a student athlete these days. Not so great to be a regular chump schnook student who never gets to set foot in these facilities, yet has to fork over ever-increasing tuition and fees that massively outpace inflation. And get nothing for their troubles except crushing debt and a chump change job upon graduation-if they’re lucky. Priorities, I guess…
I hope you had a terrible college experience
It snows in AZ?!
Crazy, right?!
W
UConn basketball
Lumberjacks did it right
I got to NAU and they SUCK at sports 🤣🤣🤣
spends millions of dollars on huge new expensive sports stadium meanwhile science programs like Geology barely surviving with decreasing funds and lack of professors. Get some priorities please, take it from an alumni
I'm an alum and I feel the exact opposite way you do. If cutting the geology dept. entirely meant the football team was just a tiny bit better, then I'd be for it.
@@chorizobandito8943 no one asked you. You're a dropout
Ridicules to spend that kind of cash on a small group of students who have always been less than successful in the major sports.
Such a waste of funds. While this was being built, teachers were randomly told that they wouldn't have a job anymore or health insurance, during the heart of the pandemic. There's already a private area is the main school gym for student athletes. At the end of the day, university is a place for learning, not for sports. We shouldn't even have shorts apart of college in the United States as much as we do, because that's a part of why education costs so much in the US, let alone pick sports over higher learning.
This reply is almost unintelligible.
@@chorizobandito8943 I dislike you
What a waste of our tuition. Guess they have their priorities
No
Basket ball team down 23 at half. Hoops team is terrible.
low key you slacking now you doing northern arizona. DAMN
Get bent
Showcasing small programs? You goofy
You couldn't even get accepted into this university. Stop typing and read a book
Best cross country team in the nation by far
They the best in cross country bro
All we wanted was affordable housing 🥲
