I do like Shaka Smart, but really wish the Longhorns wouldn't have run off Barnes.
Speaking of the Longhorns, the school today approved a new $300 million basketball arena to replace the Erwin Center. It is an interesting arrangement. The school isn't paying for the construction. They are leasing the land to a company that will build the new arena. UT will get a certain number of days reserved each year for use, the rest of the time the company can use the building as they wish. After 10 years UT will get a cut of that revenue.
