That had to help get the money coming in.

****...anyone questioning his commitment now? Butch left the greatest football team in ncaa history to chase $....Richt is donating 25% of his salary.

I sure would love to have another team like Butch left us, but money does talk and Mark just shouted load and clear -- "I am the man". Now just go beat FSU and ND and boy owns the town until further notice.

 

[Jeeperaf]

Is there any credible source informing on Richt's gift and actual amount?

Not downplaying, but rumors like this can take a life of their own.

Before you know it, he'll be announcing an on campus stadium for $1T and forcing UGA and FSU to fund it...

The Empire State Building was designed by William F. Lamb from the architectural firm Shreve, Lamb and Harmon, which produced the building drawings in just two weeks, using its earlier designs for the Reynolds Building in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and the Carew Tower in Cincinnati, Ohio (designed by the architectural firm W. W. Ahlschlager & Associates) as a basis.[23][24] Every year the staff of the Empire State Building sends a Father's Day card to the staff at the Reynolds Building in Winston-Salem to pay homage to its role as predecessor to the Empire State Building.[25] The building was designed from the top down.[26] The general contractors were The Starrett Brothers and Eken, and the project was financed primarily by John J. Raskob and Pierre S. du Pont. The construction company was chaired by Alfred E. Smith, a former Governor of New York and James Farley's General Builders Supply Corporation supplied the building materials.[1] John W. Bowser was project construction superintendent.[27][28][29]
Excavation of the site began on January 22, 1930, and construction on the building itself started on March 17—St. Patrick's Day—per Al Smith's influence as Empire State, Inc. president. The project involved 3,400 workers, mostly immigrants from Europe, along with hundreds of Mohawk iron workers, many from the Kahnawake reserve near Montreal. According to official accounts, five workers died during the construction.[30] Governor Smith's grandchildren cut the ribbon on May 1, 1931. Lewis Wickes Hine's photography of the construction provides not only invaluable documentation of the construction, but also a glimpse into common day life of workers in that era.[31]
And we can't build a doggone indoor practice facility in less than 2 years in 2016. Get somebody on this thing that knows what they are doing! It should take 4 months.

There are more regulations now than in the 1930's... pesky thing called safety inspections.

Love it!! We need to pack the stadium and shut up the people who use those empty stadium pics against us. I've been in the ears of all my friends and family about attending Canes games....even if they are not football fans lol. In the words of Jeezy "Let's get it!!"

It's actually worse in miami because you have to grease a ton of ****'s in utilities and local govt to get anything done in a timely manner, and it makes it even harder when you're talking about construction surrounded finely manicured campus.

Some politicians in Miami are corrupt so they will may let them skip some safety inspections. Who knows?

This is not a good idea, unless you want to read the headline "Miami Hurricane football team killed in building collapse".

Not relevant in today's construction world. Permits up the yin yang. That said, it's unlikely that complete working drawings are yet available and this is a fairly complex building with extensive clear space and height if a full size field is required. Could possibly beat 2 years but it will be tight.

It really shouldn't take more than a year even with the permits that are required today. Warehouses and factories 20 times the size are put up in 9 months and that includes conveyor systems and racking.

If that's the thought process, you'd net a ton more just keeping the money and not donating it.

When you donate money you are still losing money. Stop being so ignorant the guy is doing something very nice to help his Alma Mater

Anything is possible given the right situation, but the type buildings you are referencing are not really comparable. The level of finish required, the HVAC systems, the safety implications with the number of occupants, etc. This is not a high rise warehouse. You can't have columns in the middle of the field. Also unlikely that the project could be fast tracked given the budget so far noted. I'm just happy we're moving forward and looking forward to seeing the plans.
