The AP’s Dan Gelston scored an exclusive interview with Villanova coach Jay Wright yesterday, and the focus of their conversation was the still-under-wraps renovation of the Pavilion.
Take a read through yourself, but here are the major talking points:
There’s still no formal timeline to begin renovating
"Earliest would be next year," coach Jay Wright told The Associated Press. "It could be year after that, year after that. But it's inevitable. And I think inevitable within the next two, three years."
That’s not exactly encouraging, but it probably relates to fundraising. Finneran’s gift is massive, but it wasn’t tied completely to the Pavilion and wasn’t going to cover the whole cost of the project.
