On bathrooms alone, the new stadium should be drawing triple the attendance of the Rubber Bowl.

Agreed. This could be its own topic, right alongside the ACC and Spring Football fantasies.

It's not that they don't want to speak publicly right now...according to the article you linked to, they are speaking publicly through the media and stating that potential mergers are completely off the table, even if it were to benefit the economy and future of NEO. I too am glad UA is not waiting around for the other universities but instead establishing a position of strength for if/when the state makes a move.

Why is a merger even being discussed on this forum at this point? With UA already differentiating itself as a Polytech University, its clear we aren't looking to merge with anybody and won't need to no matter what if all goes to plan and we end up on the "right side of that napkin". How many times are we going to regurgitate the same fairytale? The merger talk in seemingly every thread is clutter at this point. Last I checked, we've made all necessary expense cuts and will no longer be running a deficit. What's the problem again?
