Everything that I have done has only been in the best interests of the university.

You're not seeing the instructional program of the university here. They are here to fix tractors as a club.

It's a master plan like a city would have or like the university would have on its main campus.

In many ways we're replicating what happens in American sport, where players come through the local university. We've already got 71 live projects working with Carnegie, whether that's sending our players to them for further education or their students helping us in areas such as marketing, statistical analysis and IT.

Our plan has always been to have multiple units. We think we can take it anywhere there's a university.

I won't surmise from that that we've been 100 percent dismissed from the committee, because as soon as I would surmise that, I would misinterpret what someone had said to me. But that's accurate. We will not be involved in any of the meetings.
