NC State to build dorm for basketball players
On Friday, the 32-member UNC Board of Governors gave N.C. State the authorization to use $1 million to begin planning the project, which is estimated to cost $15 million.
...
Considering that many student facilities are arranged in four-person suites, that would equate to $1 million per suite, he added.
...
The 62-bed facility, to be named Case Commons Residence Hall, will be inhabited by athletes and other students. Since 1996, NCAA rules have specified that residence halls have to be occupied by at least 51 percent non-athletes. The change represented an attempt to do away with special perks in athletic dorms that were not available to other students.
And so the bar continues to get set higher. Apparently, Kansas has a $11M basketball dorm opening later this year that will host 32 players as well.

I would like a million dollar suite to live in at any point in life
All you need to do is be a basketball superstar.
or a player at NCSU...

Where are they going to put this? There's not much free space left in that campus, if I recall. The football stadium already isn't exactly walking distance from campus.
Construction is still finishing up on Hillsborough St on either side of campus for a hotel and student apartments, so yeah idk.
