If I had that kind of money I’d already be one of those folks that need to know.

clt loves to hear that recruiting is already picking up after the announcement.

clt asks if anyone has read Hunter’s story?
Paywall…I want to read it, but not paying for it.
Covers a bunch of topics. Interesting points:
Hill said the master plan will need to be tweaked before they release it.
He wouldn’t speculate on when we would officially start playing in the new conference.
He and Aresco will not speculate on financials from TV contracts.
They reached out to the panthers for use of BoA stadium in the short term should we need to play a game there. Panthers essentially said “absolutely let us know if you need anything”.

It says Tepper is paying for the expansion and letting us play at Panthers stadium for free while it’s being built. Then, the Panthers are playing in our new stadium while the existing one is being covered by a Zeppelin-supported dome.
At least that’s what my gut is saying, but could be gas

Master Plan has been made known to the AAC before it becomes public. So, if anyone has spys…

clt assumes we will get the panthers current ipf.
That’s not our style for facilities…not enough brick lol.
However, the Panther’s practice facility in Rock Hill is supposed to be completed in 2023. Just happens to be the rumors of when we would join the AAC. The timing works our perfectly and they would no longer need that IPF.
I don’t see us using the bubble if that’s what you mean. Maybe temporarily…
We’ve been tweaking the shit out of our stadium expansion plan for a few years now. Not certain how many more tweaks the damn thing can stand.
clt says the bubble would be temporary until the IPF is finished with lots of brick
I would not drive to Rock Hill for us.
Would they come to us or go back to Death Valley?
I’m sure our stadium will be great but will we be able to support all their season ticket holders?
And I cannot wait for the dome.
That absolutely needs to happen.
We get the dome and we get the final four.
I don’t care as much about hosting the Final Four, as I do playing in the Final Four (again).

So there is no plan for immediate expansion…we’ll just fill one-third of the lower bowl at BOA and call it “close enough” and Hell, Aresco and the AAC, they’ll be fine with that…pfft
Three of their existing programs do just that. Play in large and empty off-campus stadiums. No reason the AAC would hold that against us.
