Respectfully, there has to be a better answer than this to spend tens of millions. 

 

Certainly they'd do research on other universities in similar situations before doing that. Unfortunately, I don't have that type of data.

There is plenty of data showing college sports attendance is in decline. 

 

I was at a Texas vs Kansas State game a couple of years ago in Austin. Texas has a beautiful area. The upper deck had curtains drawn and there couldn't have been 7,000 people. A new basketball arena will be yet another albatross around the school's neck.

It's not in decline everywhere, and general data is not the type of data they'd be looking at.
