The school says the dimensions of the planned project will make the Larry Bird Statue taller than its Magic Johnson counterpart at Michigan State University. A spokesman says Wolfe will use multiple images from the ISU archives to create the sculpture.
The student organization that initiated fundraising efforts for the statue has also proposed a "Larry Legends" scholarship. The school says it is optimistic that Bird will be supportive of the effort.
