I take them at their word that they legitimately have those concerns. I understand the point of view that UAs priorities are wrong. I personally also think they are wrong. I don't see any bond measures offered for academics or facilities. Were those offered I don't think they would enjoy the same support as this measure. I do see Athletics continuing to suck up our campus space with athlete only facilities that don't really advance the university's mission
I also think they are 100% correct on the stadium only being full a handful of times. I don't care about the "shifting the balance of luxury suites vs cheap seats" stuff. It's a lot of money for limited new value. I think this is just a bad deal. There are some ideas I think we should implement, but this deal doesn't have enough of them for me

I would advise never taking a politician at their word just because they're a politician. One of the BOT actually voted no yesterday because this wouldn't lower the cost of tuition. You can't be more clueless than that excuse.

That's not the Athletic Departments concern. It's a money making entity on campus and they aren't responsible for what the academic arm does. They shouldn't, and thankfully won't, be punished because the Enlgish department can't pay off a bond as fast.

This isn't doing that.

To act like upper deck corner seats are the same as premium field level seats is naïve. I don't think you're naïve so I'm not really sure why you think this way.
