So a word on the "street" is: South end zone concepts and drawings were submitted to the AD for review very recently.

In case some may have missed it, not only is the limestone wall going in this offseason, the east club and suite levels are getting a $5 million dollar refurbishment.

In other news Zenger is reportedly a little closer to finding a guy to lead the fund raising to renovate Memorial Stadium aka The Dump.

Zenger might be a nice guy, but he's the living embodiment of Max Urick and Tim Weiser. He's yet to spearhead a capital improvement project that didn't already have significant momentum from other places, and he can't wait to sign KU athletics up for leases as long as someone else is doing the heavy lifting on getting it built.

I'd also pass along that on an operational basis, KU athletics finished in the red, again. I'm sure the accounting experts can pick it apart and say they didn't, but in terms of operating revenues and expenses for FY 2016, they were in the red. They've needed some fancy accounting such as counting "forgiven debt" as revenue in other years to avoid finishing in the red.
