COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Missouri athletic officials announce updated plans Friday for a two-year, $100 million renovation project of Memorial Stadiums south end zone facilities.The kids that we are recruiting are probably going to go take a visit at another conference school, and you never want to be in a position where you dont have an opportunity to recruit a kid because of something like a facility, athletic director Jim Sterk Odom said. Obviously, this is going to give our student athletes the best chance to be successful.Missouri has struggled the past two seasons, winning just two Southeastern Conference games after winning back-to-back division championships in 2013 and 2014. In spite of this, Sterk is optimistic about fundraising efforts.The support weve had so far has been outstanding, Sterk said. Its very encouraging, but we are still working hard. We have had some promising conversations with potential contributors, and we hope to continue making those exciting gift announcements going forward.In recent months, Missouri has received six private donations in the seven-figure range, three of which came anonymously.Initial plans allocated $75 million to restore and update the existing structure in the south end zone. However, Sterk indicated Friday that the project estimate is now nearing the $100 million mark, and that architectural consultants have advised the department to demolish the current structure to make way for a new one.Sterk said that donors close to the project were also largely in favor of an entirely new facility.Football coach Barry Odom stressed the significance of such a project in regards to the programs level of commitment to its student athletes.Its exciting for them to see, Odom said. They know the product theyre going to get with the coaching side of it, with the academic side of it, and now, enhancing and always knowing that were pushing to give them the best, thats a huge advantage for our program.Among the updates discussed were additional premium seating, team offices, equipment and training facilities, and multiple private club areas for designated ticket holders.Sterk said finalized budget plans will be presented to the schools Board of Curators in February for final approval.Many details are still unclear, including the architect and the project manager, maximum seating capacity after completion, and a firm deadline for completion, though Sterk said a tentative goal is prior to the start of the 2019 season.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Jack Lambert Steelers Jersey . 8 Kansas to a 64-63 win over Texas Tech on Tuesday night.

HOUSTON -- TNT basketball broadcaster Craig Sager received a rare third bone marrow transplant on Wednesday as he continues his fight against cancer.OK, third times the charm, Sager said moments after the process began.The 65-year-old Sager has battled acute myeloid leukemia since 2014, and announced in March that he was no longer in remission.His son, Craig Sager II, was the donor for his first two transplants, which put the elder Sager into remission for close to a year each time. This time, the anonymous 20-year-old donor was considered a perfect match.Sager began the transplant at about 11:30 a.m. Central time at MD Anderson Cancer Center Houston. The procedure was expected to take some 10 hours.Dr. Muzaffar Qazilbash, Sagers stem cell transplantation physician, researched thousands of such transplants at MD Anderson over the last 15 years to illustrate just how uncommon Sagers current procedure is.Its less than 1 percent of the total number of trransplants, Qazilbash told The Associated Press.dddddddddddd Its very rare to have three transplants.Sager was in good spirits on Wednesday morning as the process began. He playfully rolled his eyes at his wife, Stacy, when she chided him for not smiling for a photo where he lifted his shirt to show where the fluid was entering his body in a tube above his left pectoral muscle.Im supposed to be smiling for this? he asked with a laugh. Oh yay!Sager, who has long been known for his wacky wardrobe and great relationships with NBA players and coaches, has been very public in his battle with cancer. Though hes had to take some time off because of the disease, hes managed to work often since his diagnosis, including Aprils Final Four in Houston and the NBA Finals in June. He was not able to take part in Olympics coverage in Rio. ' ' '
