Not sure this will ultimately be a good deal for basketball. Was really hoping to go the route of Auburn and Ole Miss, smaller basketball specific venues. Instead we’re going the route of South Carolina, A&M and others who have larger multi-purpose arenas.

Would make sense if we are putting 15K in a night, but that is not reality with the lack of commitment shown to men’s basketball.

If it hosts lots of concerts and stuff the revenue from that will be significantly greater than even a Duke level basketball team can generate.

It makes zero sense to make a basketball specific arena.

I don’t know how to attach images so I’ll just explain.

I went to moody center while in Austin to check it out. Awesome arena. There are two configurations. Event/concert where all seats are open and then basketball where there is no upper deck. Suites all around. It’s an awesome venue. Also I think a hotel close is apart of the deal. If I could post a pic I would
