Title: Butler Expansion
Post by: ZMovieman on June 12, 2017, 12:56:55 PM
Feel free to move to the Superbar if more appropriate, but I thought this was a very interesting quote from Butler's president about the acquisition of the adjacent Christian Theological Seminary campus:

Quote
“Butler is on this national recognition path,” he explained. “The move to the Big East was not just about basketball, but how you play in the same space as a Georgetown or a Villanova."

Hell... while they're at it, why not buy Christel's property (https://www.google.com/maps/place/1212+Castania+Dr,+Indianapolis,+IN+46228/@39.8389919,-86.1801354,1192m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x886b54026f8db2a5:0x7ab6235f1f53f03a!8m2!3d39.837154!4d-86.182139) as well?  With just a few renovations, they could probably convert the home into a student housing complex that Millenials finally won't complain about.

MU should have bought Concordia when they evacuated.  It would have been Langdon St. on steroids.

Isn't that about 15-20 blocks? That's too far away from campus.

It was between 31st and 33rd street and State and Highland.  Pretty sketchy area, even back in the 80's when they moved.
