Another day, another no agenda

Someone please tell me why we shouldn't be concerned about this.  Still hoping this is just a rubber stamp and Lamb has everything he needs to sail this through.

I believe we won’t see it on the agenda until later in year or early 2024. However I don’t think that is going to hold things up right now.

The Board of Governors has to approve the stadium in order for the next steps (moving intramural fields or campus recreation or whatever to the other side of the stadium). I believe that was part of the process that they were planning to begin in October. There's zero chance this is held off of the BoG agenda until 2024.

As far as the agenda is concerned, I don't think it will actually be posted until a week before the August 28/29 meeting. The fact that there's no agenda as of yet doesn't concern me.

Not necessarily. I believe they can move to the IM without the full approval on the constitution of the OCS. Now if they move the IM fields & the OCS gets rejected then that would be a waste of money

The BOG only has to approve the university taking on the debt for the stadium... so it can wait a few more months.

Well I hope this isn't a stalling tactic by the Board based on the fact that UF just announced a major uplift to BHG. That would suck.

On another note, the stadium should be named Will Weatherford Stadium.

I really think the stadium is 100 percent happening. USF administration understands that pulling back now would be a major blow and disappointment to the fan base. No going back at this point.
