OKC and Norman aren't really separated

I don't see it as a big deal

20 miles from campus



I see 20 miles as a huge problem.  When I was a student living on campus, I went to almost every men's basketball game, almost every volleyball game, and many of the women's basketball games.  I did that because I could walk there within 5 minutes from my dorm.

When I moved just a couple miles off campus, it dropped to just the major volleyball and men's basketball games.

When I moved 6 miles off campus, it dropped to pretty much zero. 

I'd predict a massive drop in student attendance if they move their arena to OKC.

Correct.  Not a problem at all for all of the big money donors who live in OKC though.  You know, the folks who were once OU students.

All of this (not just this threat) is so damn shortsighted

Massive?

I doubt what was keeping any OU alums living in OKC from attending OU basketball games was that 15 minute drive

It might help not having to sit by the frat boys.

I'm a frat boy, but I'm not sure you want to attract sorority girls. Hello, high maintenance!

If it flies, floats, or $^@%$, it's better to rent.

There will not be a massive increase in alumni attendance.  OU alumni live in Dallas.

Proposing to pay commercial real estate rental rates for your non-rev sports practice facilities seems on par with the intelligence of OU leadership.
