[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prep clearly does not place an emphasis on athletics:

Using Facilities spending as an indicator of commitment to Athletics is a risky proposition.

Georgetown University, until recently, had awful facilities. Did that mean they weren't serious about winning? Of course not.

Bill George, SJ,  came to Prep from being a fundraiser from Georgetown. At Prep he raised money and spent it.

That decision to build these facilities does not bind Prep to being an athletic factory forever.  These are two separate decisions made by different people in different time eras. As the saying goes, "That was then. This is now."

The new surface on the football field did have one positive impact on Prep lacrosse. Until that was finished, the lacrosse team was not allowed on the hallowed football field for practice or for games. The Lax team games and practices were relegated to the steeply-sloped field next to Georgetown Pike.

When supporters who were in the construction business offered to level that field for free, the Prep AD declined because it would make one of the holes on the Prep golf course less attractive.
