Better build more dorms.

The sprint football team is getting a new modular locker room near the marching band building. (The women's lacrosse team's locker room is moving to Schoellkopf from Lynah.)

New electric, water, sewer and computer systems utilities would also be installed to service the structure, which sounds like it will be "long-term temporary" at the very least. New lighting and landscaping would also be placed.

"Long-term temporary," as in University Hall dormitories, which were built s temporary housing for incoming students on the GI Bill and coming back from WWII?

Built in 1953.  WWII must have lasted longer than I thought.

Eight years. One year for transport home, and enough time to forget about Trotsky's French whore and the clap she gave you. Then time to marry the girl next door, have Billy in year 3 and Suzy in year 5. Work at your factory job for 3 years and realize you've got to find another way. So, by 1953 you sell the postwar Ford and head up to the fingers of lakes to go back to school.

There were also women and Blacks in military service during WWII, but I never heard of either getting much of the GI Bill gravy. I do know for a fact there was tremendous structural racism for things like VA loans.

Of course, the Korean War brought another wave of vets back to college on the GI Bill, right around the time University Halls were going up.

One last point is that after Harry T. dropped the big ones on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it took a while before scientists on the Manhattan Project could find new jobs. Then it took several years for them to figure out how to design a building where a pin dropped on the fourth floor would make a racket in the basement. Once they figured this out, only then could construction on the University Halls begin.

Holy Christ, $600,000 for a modular build.  That's some high price union work right there

$327/sqft doesn't sound crazy to me with all the plumbing to accommodate 50 guys showering.

Plumbing and electrical trade costs are crazy high these days.

Yep.

Because the American Dream now means go to college, accrue tremendous debt, and get a job that didn't require a college education, and doesn't pay enough to let you repay your student loan and live.

From the Athletic:

Penn State picked up a commitment from Cornell graduate transfer offensive lineman Hunter Nourzad on Monday. The Marietta, Ga., native picked Penn State over a group of finalists that included Virginia Tech, Iowa, Auburn and Illinois.

The 6-foot-4, 298-pound Nourzad is expected to enroll at Penn State after graduating from Cornell in May and will have two years of eligibility remaining. At Cornell, Nourzad started 20 consecutive games at right tackle — 10 in 2019 and the other 10 this past season, when he was a first-team All-Ivy League selection. Like all Ivy League players, he did not have a football season in the fall of 2020 because of the pandemic.

Penn State will have competition along the interior, and Nourzad should help with that. Experienced, accomplished linemen are hard to come by, so this will be a boost.

For what it's worth, the folks behind college football site Every Day Should Be Saturday and the Shutdown Fullback podcast are in the middle of their annual charity drive to raise money for New American Pathways, a refugee-resettlement organization. They sort the contributions by school and play up rivalries and people tend to tie their donation amounts to certain significant scores or whatnot. For example, Here is my entry:

I encourage my fellow Red to donate and move Cornell up the leaderboard somewhat.

Here's an excerpt from a Rochester D&C article about college football coaches on the hot seat —

David Shaw, Stanford: Here are the cold facts about Shaw. He is a good coach, the winningest in the program's history. . . Last year's team failed miserably in areas that used to be strengths: running the ball and stopping the run. The Cardinal were among the worst in the nation at both. Maybe the administration gives Shaw a reprieve, but losing, no matter where, won't be tolerated for long.

Except at Cornell!

Or Andy Noel retires, which thankfully happens this summer.  This is it for Archer this Fall, with his protector gone, it's finally produce a winning record with the football program or see ya.
