Re: MSU to receive Game Changing Big Gift?
I think people are just joking about the fact that a whole lot of people are insinuating that they know something about this but nobody ever gives any detailed information about it. I suspect that whatever this is is real and not just an unfounded rumor or April Fools joke, but who knows exactly what it is or when it will happen!

Could be a rumor that morphed into something it’s not. Don’t think it’s a deliberate hoax but uncertainty breads speculation and inquiring minds want to know! I think it would be difficult to keep something big under wraps.

Absolutely we want to know, therefore I am calling it a rumor and nothing else. Prove me wrong. Trust me, I would LOVE to be proven wrong!

While in Frisco I asked the person in the Athletics department who would be responsible for bringing something like this in. They either deserve an Oscar for acting or they truly had no idea what I was talking about.AFCAT wrote: ↑Fri Feb 14, 2025 11:53 amSo, what are the odds that this is just some sort of self perpetuating story?

Assuming it is real, what exactly could “game changing” include?

Re: MSU to receive Game Changing Big Gift?
Stadium expansion/upgrade or a move up. The fact there hasn’t been any leaking of information leads me to think this is all about nothing. I’m not in the know, but the guys that I know are, haven’t said anything or acted like anything is up. I wouldn’t get your hopes up.Cats and Dogs wrote: ↑Sat Feb 15, 2025 5:38 pmAssuming it is real, what exactly could “game changing” include?

Money to fully fund all future athletic scholarships, allowing MSU to set their own full scholarship limit, not just the current 63. More to it right now than just money, but it's a possibility.Cats and Dogs wrote: ↑Sat Feb 15, 2025 5:38 pmAssuming it is real, what exactly could “game changing” include?
To me, the fact that there aren't any rumors floating around about um getting something similar, means that it isn't about moving up.
I have a feeling this is all about nothing too, but I still have hope.
