UNCC likely to delay football plans - Charlotte Business Journal:
http://www.borisnew.org/article/Britains-bendiest-roads---.html
Dubois offered trustees a brief overvie w of the campaign for the school to start playing footbalplin 2013. He wants the trustees to vote on next steps in including whether to keep thecurrentr schedule. “It’s a boardf decision, but it’s my job to tee up the decisionfor them,” Dubois said. “And I thini when you look at thecircumstances today, you can come to the conclusiojn that perhaps a delay makes sense.” A lot dependw on how the current campaign to sell seat licensex fares. To date, 1,6933 seat licenses have been sold, with $540,000o paid and $2.1 million pledgede in those commitments.
Guidelines established earlier this year called for the school tosell 5,500 seat licenses by the end of That goal was scrapped soon after as a sluggish responsde and the battered economy convinced schoolo officials it was unrealistic. Athletic Director Judy Rose acknowledged frustrationn with thesales pace. She pointed toward an upcomingt advertising campaign and an aggressive volunteer sales team being formed as causedfor optimism. On July 13, local executives Johnny Harrisz and Mac Everett will host a party at Quailp Hollow Club aimed at spurrinbg interest anddriving sales.
Even if the guidelinezs are met for theseat licenses, it seems likely the startf date for football will be pushed back by a year or two as the schooll grapples with landing private donations to help build practice revamp the track and field stadium for a temporary footbalo stadium and meet othere startup demands. Dubois and the trustees scaled back their ambitions for footbalklin February, shelving earliee plans to come up with $45 milliom to launch the sport. Now they hope to do it on a shoestrint budgetof $19 million, but even that figure will be hard to The football scenarios were outlinerd during a trustees meeting long on grim financial news.
UNC Charlotte expects to take a budget hit of 11 percentr to 15 percent in the year all but assuring Dubois of having tocut jobs. At the same a tuition hike of $200 is expected for the fall That increase could make it more difficult to win approva l forplanned student-fee hikes in the fall of 2010. Those considered a crucial source forthe $10 million annuao operating cost of having a football team, must be approved by the collegs system’s board of governors. The chancellor pointed out that fundinfg for football and the rest of campus operation come from unrelated pools of but he also acknowledged the difficultiexs of battling asymbolic dichotomy.
“From the impressiobn it makes on facultyand staff, it obviously make it more difficult,” he said. “Icf we were in a situation where we have a significant reduction of our work forceand we’re going forward on football, you’d have to questionj whether that made a lot of sense from the symbolic standpoint. But, football is four years out. We’red really just setting the table forthat initiation.

Study shows San Antonio is nation's best-performing city in recession - Triangle Business Journal:
grigoriynirim.blogspot.com
The Washington, D.C.-based think tank has begun analyzing the impacft of the recessionthroughouy America’s metropolitan areas. In the firsf of a series of quarterlyMetroMonitor reports, Brookings rankec San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Austin, Houstom and Dallas as the top five metrop areas in the country in economidc performance in the wake of the recession. Brookings ranked the top 100 metropolitam areas based on six keyindicators — unemployment rates, wages, gross metropolitan product, housing pricews and foreclosure rates. This initial MetroMonitor report covere the first quarterof 2009.
The five worst metropolitaj areas in the country impacted bythe recession, in descending are Jacksonville, Fla.; Lakeland, Fla.; Tampa, Fla.; Bradenton, Fla.; and “All metropolitan areas are feeling the effectz of this recession, but the distress is not shared equally,” says Alan research director of the Metropolitan Policy Progran at Brookings and co-author of the report. “While some areasa of the country have experiencesd only a shallow and may be emerging from therecessiobn already, people living in metro areaxs that are now performing weakest economically should prepar themselves for a long recovery period.
” Howard director of the Metropolitan Econom Initiative at Brookings and another co-author of the argues that the report shows that a nationa fiscal and monetary policy will not be enoug h for stimulating the economy. “Many (metro) areaw will need targeted assistance, and sinced states have no funds available, the federa l government will have to step up to fill the Concentrations of industry activity have both helped and hurts some regional economies duringthe recession. For metropolitan areas in statesa with specializations in energty and government employment suchas Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisianaw — have largely been insulated by the recession.
metropolitan areas in states like Michigan and Ohio that depend heavily on the automotivwe industry have been impacted by the downturn in the thereport shows. San Antonio is home to Randolph AirForces Base, Fort Sam Houston, Lackland Air Force Base and Brook City-Base. The 2005 Base Realignment and Closure decision alone is providing a significant economic punch to theAlamo City’s economy through the consolidation of high-payinf military health care jobs and more than $2 billion wortbh of new construction activity. A separat e report released by LLC outlining the impact of BRAC showedf that Fort Sam Houston alone woulr experiencea 11,500 increase of personnel.
The Army post will also gain 7.9 milliojn square feet of space. Construction activity due to BRAC alone shouldcreats 46,000 construction jobs during the course of the buildingg programs, the DiLuzio report showed.
The Washington, D.C.-based think tank has begun analyzing the impacft of the recessionthroughouy America’s metropolitan areas. In the firsf of a series of quarterlyMetroMonitor reports, Brookings rankec San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Austin, Houstom and Dallas as the top five metrop areas in the country in economidc performance in the wake of the recession. Brookings ranked the top 100 metropolitam areas based on six keyindicators — unemployment rates, wages, gross metropolitan product, housing pricews and foreclosure rates. This initial MetroMonitor report covere the first quarterof 2009.
The five worst metropolitaj areas in the country impacted bythe recession, in descending are Jacksonville, Fla.; Lakeland, Fla.; Tampa, Fla.; Bradenton, Fla.; and “All metropolitan areas are feeling the effectz of this recession, but the distress is not shared equally,” says Alan research director of the Metropolitan Policy Progran at Brookings and co-author of the report. “While some areasa of the country have experiencesd only a shallow and may be emerging from therecessiobn already, people living in metro areaxs that are now performing weakest economically should prepar themselves for a long recovery period.
” Howard director of the Metropolitan Econom Initiative at Brookings and another co-author of the argues that the report shows that a nationa fiscal and monetary policy will not be enoug h for stimulating the economy. “Many (metro) areaw will need targeted assistance, and sinced states have no funds available, the federa l government will have to step up to fill the Concentrations of industry activity have both helped and hurts some regional economies duringthe recession. For metropolitan areas in statesa with specializations in energty and government employment suchas Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisianaw — have largely been insulated by the recession.
metropolitan areas in states like Michigan and Ohio that depend heavily on the automotivwe industry have been impacted by the downturn in the thereport shows. San Antonio is home to Randolph AirForces Base, Fort Sam Houston, Lackland Air Force Base and Brook City-Base. The 2005 Base Realignment and Closure decision alone is providing a significant economic punch to theAlamo City’s economy through the consolidation of high-payinf military health care jobs and more than $2 billion wortbh of new construction activity. A separat e report released by LLC outlining the impact of BRAC showedf that Fort Sam Houston alone woulr experiencea 11,500 increase of personnel.
The Army post will also gain 7.9 milliojn square feet of space. Construction activity due to BRAC alone shouldcreats 46,000 construction jobs during the course of the buildingg programs, the DiLuzio report showed.
