Exactly. Of course OU is going to take "free money" from the TIF if offered to them. If Norman doesn't approve it, which looks very possible, then all of a sudden OU will need to find a lead donor to fund the arena. If Ole Miss, Auburn, Baylor, etc. can all build brand new $100+ million arenas so can OU.. I don't expect OU's new arena to be on the same scale as Moody, nor does it need to be.
