The University of Tennessee at Knoxville has big dreams of expanding its landlocked campus, and officials say a pedestrian bridge across the Tennessee River could help make that possible. 

Host Ryan Wilusz is joined by higher education reporter Rebecca Wright and growth and development editor Brenna McDermott to talk about how the bridge could promote private development, entice prospective students to choose UT and encourage existing students to stick around after graduation to start their career. 

The team also looks at how other expansion strategies, such as increased access to transit, could make this proposal a success.
