Whit also never quantified what $300 million would be building. It's highly likely that in an effort to give an inflated cost, he gave the estimate for an NBA caliber state of the art arena (similar to what Louisville built) to make the cost of replacement seem ridiculously high to justify a renovation.

But that isn't what we need. Something similar to Ole Miss or Auburn would be just fine... the cost for both was around $100 million. Not cheap... but a renovation worth a damn won't be cheap either.
