SAN JOSE-San Jose State University will break ground before the end of January on a $3 million training facility for its student athletes thanks to a $1 million grant from the Koret Foundation, the largest ever for the university’s sports programs. The 17,000-sf Koret Building will be located across from Spartan Stadium on San Jose State University’s south campus, on land that currently houses the San Jose State Athletic Department.

Fund-raising for the project began only eight months ago and was expected to take several more years. Insiders say the credit goes to former Spartan head football coach John Ralston, who is friends with Ted Taube, president of the Koret Foundation and the former owner of the Ralston-coached Oakland Invaders of the defunct United States Football League.
