to mess with. Alden fvcked with it, drove out the townies and students, did nothing to grow the fanbase, built an arena way too big, and made some bad coaching hires. It collapsed and cannot be rebuilt because there simply isn't the pressure from a large number of fans and donors for it to be rebuilt. When something like this happens at a place like Kentucky, the fanbase and donors absolutely demand changes until it gets right again - i.e. Calipari. At Mizzou the collapse is castrophic because you simply don't have that kind of groundswell, that huge demanding fanbase.
