Anyone know what his "transcript" might look like? Has he attended any schooling beyond high school? Taken any of the various admission exams? How well does he speak, write, and read English?

All good questions
As you recall Buzz Peterson really did not speak english when he got here
It was marbles in the mouth stuff
 
Dredging this up because it sounds like the PTB are looking at options for a new arena or Dean Dome renovation and the Carolina North arena site is getting the most support.

This is a stuck between rock and a hard place conundrum to me. Hate to say it but I think the Dean Dome is very outdated (to put it nicely) and the current setup with the student section is less than ideal. A new arena feels like the logical option, but building it at Carolina North and taking away that on-campus feel would be a tough trade off.

Seems like there are some pissed off bball alums as they feel that their voice isn’t being heard. Roberts obviously wants to move it to Carolina North as he thinks he can make a (soulless) money maker and The feedback process has been a sham

I can’t say I’m a Lee Roberts fan myself so understand the skepticism there.

The alums wanting their voice heard and (probably) favoring keeping the Dean Dome makes sense considering that’s where they played/coached. Personally I’m not convinced that’s the best decision for the program.

In my line of work, I pretty often end up reaching out to various stakeholders to get feedback on certain things my agency does or changes we're considering.

I'm always a little cynical when I hear a group of folks, especially high-profile folks, say "their voice isn't being heard". I'm not saying that there aren't times when that is true, but - in my experience - what is often meant is "they didn't do what I wanted". You can do a lot of research and spend a good deal of time listening - and hearing - various stakeholders, but then a decision has to be made and it's often impossible to make a decision that makes everyone happy. And a common complaint from those who do not get their way is that "their voice wasn't heard".

I do think that you have to do extra work with those who don't get their way to explain why a different choice than their preference was made and to bring them back into the fold, so to speak, but that's different than actually not hearing their perspective at all.
