The point is that building one multi-million dollar multi purpose arena is not a demonstration that one is trying to "buy" their way to hoops success. Penn State did the exact same thing. It's certainly not a sign that either were opening up the purse strings.

Now if they had spent multi-millions on a basketball only facility, you'd have more of a case.

Or, if they had gotten their checkbook out and hired a big time name coach, you'd also have more of a case - but Tim Miles from Colorado State? Doesn't sound like a go for broke movement to me.

To me, it reads just like Penn State back in the early 90s. The university realizing that they were going to have to upgrade their facilities across the board so they go out and spend money on a lot of sports facilities. That's what PSU did in the 90s, and that's what it looks like Nebraska is doing now.
