Look, I understand the likelihood of an OCS if extremely slim, but if you're really wanting student/fan/alumni involvement to increase, the plans of an OC should do that. I fell like the renovation images to LBMS look amazing, but the hype seemingly fell short.

They aren't contributing $200 million, I doubt they will contribute more than $100 million. And "the same fashion" isn't a magic wand that can come up with $100 - $200 million out of thin air.

the last upgrade done the city funded $9 million of the $50 million in costs of the upgrade. If they fund a similar percentage, then the school/donors/private funding would need to contribute $164 million. Now, if we could build on OCS at your proposed $300 million, we're looking at about another $80 million. The increased revenue and donations by getting alumni/fans back on campus, added to the money saved in rent year over year would make up the difference in costs.

Most people rent homes on a short term basis, professional teams rent so they're not structurally tied to a market, but a school located in a city for well over 100 years should have stopped renting a football facility a long time ago!

Y'all are wasting energy. There will not be a OCS unless we get into the Big XII. And that is a big unless.

There may not be any Liberty Bowl upgrades either - unless we get into the Big XII. That's my expectation at this point.
