Since we are speculating we are entitled to think out loud. Maybe the agreement was what it is and has expired per the plan. Could have been an agreement of sorts to get the cancer center up, running and established.

Mission accomplished.



So many events that used to be handled in TV for cancer celebrations were disallowed when Moffitt came on the scene.....for example relay for life.



I am impressed with how little is being reported about the current actions.

BTK - Moffitt agreed to create a Comprehensive Cancer Center here - essentially a duplication of their Tampa Campus. They had to realize from the onset that promise was neither feasible or financially reasonable. There are only about 44 CCCs in the country. Think of building a Sloan Kettering and all the associated facilities, staff, and researchers, etc. Or an MD Anderson. There is just no way.
