Wow! That's awesome. But why not simply tear down Watkins, Fraser, Snow, Mallot, Summerfield, Strong, and Wescoe so that the facilities will be closer to campus.

Who is the moron that drew in purple trees everywhere?

Are they just planning on fixing up Jayhawk Towers? I thought there was some talk of a Basketball players only dorm when Self signed his new contract. Anybody know anything about this?
This Olympic Village would be cool if it happens and would also lead to adding seats to the Football stadium since you could take the track out.

Those must be Easter Redbud trees, not purple, but more of a violet.

I don't think a basketball only dorm is allowable under NCAA rules.

Memphis has a basketball players only Mansion! It is amazing!

Here is a quote from a Luke Winn interview in SI last year about the house Memphis players have!
"LW: Those old Laurinburg guys -- Anderson, Dozier and Kareem Cooper; do you live with any of them at Memphis?
JD: We actually have a house -- 11 bedrooms, all basketball players, so mostly everybody stays there.
LW: How did you find that place?
JD: It's an on-campus thing; Coach Cal did it. It's almost like a mansion. You can get lost in there. It's decked out, too; the living room's got 42-inch flat screens where we can watch game tapes, or review player personnel. Or we can go upstairs where there's a theater, and just watch movies."

Looking at the track only photo, their doesn't seem to be enough space/bleachers for the KU Relays. If anyone has been to it, they will know that it is a huge event.

I too would prefer to see more seating for track-only field to better accommodate the Kansas Relays. Seating for 10,000 would drastically improve KU's chances of hosting the NCAA Championships, and even USATF Championships.
