I am shocked that our Cheer team received the most support. Would never have guessed that MBB would finish in 9th!

I think it speaks to the "type" of donors. I imagine our football and basketball donors are funding us through other vehicles.

So whats the plan for the old EC? Tear it down and make parking?

At the Concerned Black Men gala tonight where Weaver is the speaker. He said that they're about to break ground on the $80M Forestry/Ag building. He said that also they are going to break ground on a $40M Entrepreneurship building. (He said entrepreneurship is the third fastest growing degree).
He said admits are up for the fall about 50%. It's unclear if that's based on this time of year or overall. Joining the CAP program is reaping benefits . (CAP is where UT denied students can come to SFA).
Beautiful we need more green space.BigJack85 said:SCH890 said:

On Twitter SFASU said that it(EC) would be demolished and the area would be turned into green space.

FANTASTIC! Almost makes this old guy want to go back and get a Forestry degree. (Almost, but not quite.)
Congrats, 76. I know you're proud.

Not going to lie. I never invested into one. I thought a College yearbook made zero sense to me. Glad it was successful for so long but I never saw the appeal. Would be nice to have a couple just to have an archive.Ljacks&Longnecks said:
EDITORIAL: Stone Fort success not enough to save it
- Apr 21, 2025 Updated 22 hrs ago
When the news was given to the Stone Fort Yearbook staff that their time producing physical yearbooks was over, it came as a surprise considering the recent success of books. Now, after the 2024 yearbook took home eight awards at the 2025 Texas Intercollegiate Press Association conference, the SFA community should ask why the university would wish to get rid of such a beneficial program.
Looking at the Stone Fort from a success standpoint the plan taken by SFA is a massive fallacy. The Stone Fort has racked up more than 30 awards in the last four years, notably overall excellence, best of show and yearbook of the year, from TIPA, Associated Collegiate Press and the Pinnacle College Media Awards. Any other student organization with this level of success would be propelled and celebrated by SFA and a major point to mention to incoming students. However, for SFA to take the steps to disband an organization of such success results in a grand step in the wrong direction for an institution that is striving for propelling student engagement and success.
University staff chalked up the decision to be "based on best practices in the field and the evolution of technology," a statement that is inaccurate and holding to be untrue. Yearbooks are still a staple of multiple high schools, colleges and universities all across the state, the reason being that they offer those involved experience that would otherwise not be possible. This includes graphic designers who need relevant experience in page design, photographers who want to continue their hobby while contributing and lastly writers who have to perform a variety of interviews and resource compilation to make every page special. The final product being one of the few things that truly captures a year at SFA, better than an individual social media post could.
Instead of seeing the troublesome areas of the Stone Fort and finding a way to minimize those so the organization can continue, students have been given very little hope. The Pine Log moved to a new department, in hopes of "providing our talented students with internships to prepare them for the workforce," according to university officials. This statement is especially odd considering the Stone Fort, which achieves the same goal of preparing students that wish to seek out the opportunity ample work experience, receives the chopping block. Current students and incoming students who have heard about the Stone Fort are now left with the harsh reality that they won't get a yearbook of their time at SFA.
The decision could be chalked up to a multitude of things, such as the reason provided or because of the diminishing number of yearbooks bought. Despite the reasons, both provided and unprovided, the total elimination of the Stone Fort without any solution is troubling. If any other student group or program had achieved this many accolades, it would be a major talking point to help propel the program; instead SFA is deciding to ignore the success, stories and students behind such a special program.
