So what is the point of trying to almost double capacity if no one
will use the seats...more Luke Bryan concerts?

I think his point was if they expanded it would be to move up to FBS. In which case, they'd probably have more attractive games which will typically sell more tickets. It doesn't hurt to have more than necessary for most games if you might need them from time to time.

I know Wichita loves having sellouts every game for basketball, but I'd love to have The Chuck with more seats even if it led to a few missed sellouts from time to time.

To double the Dome capacity in conjunction with a move to FBS makes sense...but I still don't see the market or fan base to support it. But it is Iowa so...If you build it they will come!

Worked for Costner.

You keep saying double. I don't think you know what that word means.

Where are you seeing/hearing this 10-15K stuff? Or any expanded seating at all for that matter?

You're not "going to see it" anywhere.

It's still very much in the "sources" stages.

As I've said, repeatedly to you at this point, there are some things it's very dependent that need to be ironed out and finalized. It's still in a stage where things could change dramatically. It is, however, past the "Hey, what about this" stage of discussions.

Creighton AD believes if Big East decides to expand to 12 teams Gonzaga and WSU would be logical fits. They are discussing expansion in May at their meetings.

I believe the Creighton AD is full of crap.

Gonzaga isn't going to join a conference where the closest team in over 1500 miles away. They enjoy the institutional fit that the WCC provides.

The Priest isn't bringing in any public schools. No Wichita, no VCU.

If they expand, they'll look at SLU (market), Richmond, Dayton (X might veto). They may consider a couple of others as well, but I'm not going to look into all of the east coast privates and see who's where and are they Catholic or not. I know Catholic isn't a 100% requirement, but pretty sure private is.

Then Norte Dame should not have gone into the ACC. It would have fit better for them. Private school, Mid East location. Football could have remained independent.

Football is still independent

So in reading all this discussion, I assume in five years UNI will probably be in the Big 10? It's amazing how delusional some people can become because of one extremely good basketball coach.
