My guess is that the Bucks have no interest in accommodating three basketball teams.

If this is true, then I hope that the university makes a stand here. They have to make a stand and flatly say, "If you force us out of our arena so you can build yours, then you have to do one of two things: Either help pay (At least 20% or 30%) for our new arena, either a brand new one or a major overhaul of Klotsche, OR you're going to let us play in the new arena, not Marquette."

Why should UWM get priority times for a program that gets a quarter of the attendance that Marquette does? It's better for the new arena to give priority to those who draw the biggest crowds.
