Now, their 2014 meeting is approaching (May 8th or 9th) and Dean puts out this cryptic information. To date, there hasn't even been a fundraising plan announced... Last time OU did something like this there was a huge PR campaign and the whole thing lasted several years.
I suspect they are going to the Regents with a conceptual plan and then will kick off the fundraising.
And I'm sure a big chunk of the $300+ million will be used for other athletic facilities, like a major re-do of Loyd Noble.
