OVG could very well kick them out before its done being that the start of 2018 through some point in 2020 no events are going to be played there due to the remodel. OVG could fill potential SU spots with other events like concerts and Disney on ice. This will make OVG more money at the Key. I hope SU doesnt get the 2 boot salute from OVG but its possible. Connolly is to small but I bet thats where they go for the next couple of years. Also SU won't get a sweet deal to play at the Key going forward I bet. Anyways Something needs to happen for Seattle to attract pro winter sports and if it shafts SU in the process that sucks but SU will survive and be alright.
Seattle U did sign and extension with Key Arena last year, not sure how long, so not sure how that will be handled. Hopefully not just terminated. If that is the case maybe SU can get a nice little cash bundle from OVG for early termination.
I still dont see why OVG would want to kick out 1 of the only 2 permanent tenats out before they have an NHL or NBA team. Theres 12+ SU home games. Instead of replacing SU with concerts or disney on ice why not both?
SU needs to do everything they can to play at the new arena if an on campus one cant be built. Players hate Connolly
I have to believe OVG has some negotiations in the works with either the NHL and/or NBA in order to justify the refurbishment (money expenditure) of the KeyArena. In any case, once this new arena has a new "main tenant" (a pro franchise), Seattle U. may no longer have a basketball home.

It sounds more like the NHL than NBA with the NBA saying they won't go back to the Key no matter what.
