Any word on the Moody renovation?

[1983 Cotton Bowl]

One day, out of the blue, SMU announces a $40 million Moody renovation project and a lead gift of $20 million. About five minutes later, SMU announces another gift of $10 million for the project. And then. . .nothing. Any word on where this project stands or what the timeline is? I would think having pledges in hand worth $30 million towards a $40 million project would be enough to get the ball rolling.

Takes awhile to get the architects and engineers to get the plan together and then bid it out.........

I don't think starting before this basketball season was ever part of the plans...we're on track.

I don't think they wanted to start it before this BB season. I also think the construction on the Bush library has something to with the delay as well.

It is supposed to be done at the same time as bush library for some ceremonies....

Yeah, I didn't expect the shovels to hit the ground a month before BB season. But I was curious about the progress in planning and fundraising the other $10 million. Maybe we'll get another announcement at some point during the season.
