To those claiming the recruits will come based on playing in a new arena, refer to post # 1828.
Nah, not so much. It is really about the "ke$h".
Good point about NIL money. Still reading up on how NIL works. Originally a fan of giving players some type of monthly stipends; but NIL will IMO unlevel the playing field for less wealthy universities. It will favor the more traditional football schools: Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, LSU, Tennessee, Arizona, Clemson, Miami, USC, UCLA, Penn State, Notre Dame and others.
so... back to UNP development.
Unfortunately LNC was narrowly missed by the storm last night
Planning commission discussion postponed again....

The TIF district plan was shown last night. $600 million. https://www.normantranscript.com/new...4e7f1d394.html
It is about time the true cost of this boondoggle has been published.
$600M from the "public"., aka Norman taxpayers.
Disingenious to initially announce a price tag of $200m to sell the idea and then mention interest charges almost 3x greater.
Also of interest is one of the commisioners wondering about a 1,200 car parking lot for a 5K seat arena. What happened to 8K seats?
The posted link also touches on how this would impact the NPS.
