Arena renovations needed to happen...more on the UD front than to cater to the NCAA. If you've been "behind the scenes" you will know what I am referring to. This renovation isn't "stickers and paint" like the last one. This will enhance the fan experience. You either renovate to the extreme...or build new. New isn't in the cards and shouldn't be.

To think that "Satifying the NCAA" in trade for scheduling...you really don't know what you are talking about.

Small things...like a pro shop...instead of having the equivalent of folding tables at a pop up shop for merchandise.

The corner suites and other "box seats". Form of revenue generation in house...not to satisfy the NCAA.

UD is a great host to NCAA events and the NCAA knows that. UD isn't in the business of calling up the NCAA offices and saying "Hey NCAA, do you approve of what we are doing and what else can we do for you?"

UD doesn't put the NCAA in front of UD. People about "UD would rather host the NCAA than a home NIT game". No **** Sherlock. No one in the building wants to be in the NIT...so go what what is a guarantee..the NCAA games as well as hoping your team is playing on the road the first weekend of the tournament.
