The good news is that more than a few local reporters are coming out on social media talking about the rain and lack of IPF. I think having the rain affect Pro Day, one of the most marketable days for UM all year, will put a lot of pressure on leadership.
However, and I've stated this before, the biggest obstacle isn't funding; it's location. One of the only options I've heard that MIGHT work is to shift the tennis courts/facility north to the southern most portion of the Intramural fields, and then build the IPF on the current location of the tennis courts. The only loser in that situation is the student-base which will lose roughly 2 football fields worth of IM field space.
