Chad Weiberg made it clear when he formally announced OSU’s Athletic Vision Plan on Monday that this is the beginning of the process.
And it showed with the first question the media asked, as Weiberg revealed there is no timeline for the plan’s execution, nor is there any priority for addressing which of the nine projects comes first. That's for donors to decide with the athletic department committed to achieving its $325 million goal through donations, rather than incurring debt.
That’s fair. But without much internal spending, nobody knows how long the plan may take.
The athletic department paid for the $55 million renovation to Boone Pickens Stadium that began in the offseason — a project it was able to support with the revenue it could generate in return.
