UT having a good, and more popular, program will and does make the make them a lot more money than any thing they get from hosting the circus. Remember there is a lot more to programs like that than tickets, like mercendise and TV deals. Moving to the center of campus would be the best thing for that program.
And IMO that would be best for Austin too. Austin needs something close to the convention center or Long center. Also Austin really need something that can fit 18-20k. UT is not going to provide either of those. The types of event you are talking about need to be seperated from the UT basketball programs. I believe Austin has grown enough it needs its own place now. Or really it passed that point a long time ago, but always had the FEC so we have never gotten a real facility like we need.
