They will still be left behind if a super conference is formed take away the big 12 TV contract and they are only at a $50 mill budget

It doesn't say how much they have raised, if anything. I doubt they will pull a Scott Farmer.

I guess my point is they will begin construction before money is raised. Not sure what percentage needs to be raised before construction can begin but all indications is UL has raised around 50% of the 70 mill reno. If I'm wrong someone, please fill me in. But if correct is that not enough to begin?

Say what you want, but we got stuff built with Farmer. May not have been the ideal way. Now, we are in this constant silent fundraising, where no one knows what the F#$% is going on!

We had Silent fund raising with farmer too. That's what got him in the mess he was in.

It’s probably a safe bet they have a few donors in that billionaire range, won’t be a problem.

They have no choice but to upgrade their facilities at this point, even if it's for a possible merger with the PAC 12 down the road.

Applying that analysis to Louisiana, where does that put us?

I think it's more for the fan base. A lot I mean a lot of TT fans are mad about Houston coming into the Big12. Would be like us voting for McNeese to come into the SBC
