Interesting answer about the land purchase...
"Well, we're going to work with the campus community over the next several months to determine the best use of the land. It is most likely that it will not be used for classes because of the distance to the other parts of campus."
I think we'll see another athletic facility/fieldhouse there.
Can they build a new/updated recreation center and use the current rec center land for new class or dorm space?
The Fieldhouse has been rumored to be on the wishlist, no?
I may have to make a question for Oct. 28 in NYC.

Perhaps move Valley Fields there and get us out from under the Pottawatomie.

True, but it doesn't have to happen over night....that grandstand is nice though.
If he doesn't answer a question about explaining his plan to quickly bring back the Warrior name, it will be a travesty.
What MU needs to allow the soccer teams and lacrosse teams to take it to the next level is a fieldhouse with an indoor field to allow training during the cold months.

From the AMA "At this point, we have no plans to revisit the mascot of the University - I think "We are Marquette" really sums up who we are!"
The only part of Reddit I'm findin' is the NSFW section. Is this where the dialogue is takin' place?
From his intro: "Some notable graduates of Marquette: Dwayne Wade, Chris Farley, Danny Pudi, and Victoria from reddit, who's here helping me out today."
1. Dwayne? Killing me, Mike.
2. Dwyane graduated?

Did anyone honestly expect an answer any different than this?
