Maybe Jim Turner stepped up and said it is time for a new stadium. He could afford to fund the dam thing himself.

According to one of my closes friends, who is a Baylor grad and very well conected to what goes on at Baylor, Drayton McLane is supposedly prepared to make a sizable donation towards the Stadium Project once the sale of the Astros is completed.
I have my doubts as well but they would probably be able to raise money to undertake a renovation project of Floyd Casey Stadium, then again anything would be an improvement to that place..
