Timmons is done. The reno should start on Monday

3000 seats? Or more? How about 4000? We are conference champs.

I agree, 4,000 would be perfect!

Nice arena simulation. Hope FUture Tims has one.

Bout the same size as Reno Tim (at least bottom bowl)

Only negative about this design is the stairs leading to drinking area.

Up the stairs... no problem. Down the stairs... might be an issue (especially with 6 mannequins staring at ya)

That brand new banner gonna look great in the new Timmons!

An NCAA tourney run might just be enough to boost this thing over the line

An NCAA tourney run would be fantastic.
However, I prefer to reword your sentence.
Furman fans and Furman supporters and community philanthropists boosting this thing over the line might just be enough to help make sure we get an NCAA tourney run sometime in the near future, regardless of whether we get one this season.
It is not right, in any way, to put one iota of the "burden" or "responsibility" of boosting this thing over the line upon the shoulders of this truly great team and coaching staff.
Again, to clarify, I hope we have an NCAA tourney run this year, meaning at least 2 wins, but that alone would be an unprecedentedly great achievement even if we don't ever have any Timmons improvements.

Where are the $$$ amounts earned listed/found for each game you advance in the NCAA tourney that FU and SoCon would receive?

I do know from seeing it in the past the it increases big time with each round you advance of course.

Here is a good article explaining it: https://www.sportico.com/leagues/colleg ... 234625231/

Two years ago, it was $337,141 per game played, and they go to the conference on a rolling six-year window. This year's shares should be higher by some percentage points. I assume that, with the 2020 tournament be cancelled, it now includes six tournaments over seven years. For the SoCon that would be 7 total shares, plus how many extra ones we earn this season.

17, ETSU
18, UNCG
19, Wofford (x2 since they beat Seton Hall)
21, UNCG
22, Chattanooga
23, Furman

Doesn't the SoCon divide the money equally among its members?

Fairly certain the participating school gets a bigger percentage of the money, for example when Davidson made elite 8 run they got higher percentage of that money each round than the rest of SoCon.

I believe FU Hoopla's statement is correct. I recall that the SoCon changed their bylaws at some point to give a higher percentage of earned shares to the schools who earned them.

Don’t know the formula, but think it’s divided ‘unequally’ with the Team that goes getting a larger share of the pie for that year’s allotment. Surely, one of the more avid hoops nuts here will have it all ticked and tied and be able to quote the scheme chapter and verse.
