KSU formally announced a $1,000,000 gift last night for naming rights to the court at the MAC Center. Look for details on the KSU website real soon.

Thank you Taco Tonto's!





OK, it will be interesting to see who it really is.

Dude now I want some Taco Tontos. You really shouldn't do that when I can't go...

I really hope they use this money for necessary and quality upgrades.

First Energy? Goodyear? PNC? Key Bank? Diebold? Parker Hannifan? AT&T? Smuckers? GE?

Those are all of the major, private employers in the area, who I know Kent State has connections with.....

I would guess those companies would put more than 1M in and buy the rights to something bigger than the court. I'm guessing this is an individiual or family gift, which is much better and more nestalgic, IMO.

The Gyro Bob, Loft Pizza, & Taco Tontos's Court!

My understanding is it is not a local corporation. I may be incorrect however. I was happy to hear the news and didn't ask for details.

So you're saying that Ziggy down at Woodsy's Music is not the donor...

I guess that would be a lot of guitar strings.

No worries...I was just curious....Believe me, I was very happy to hear the news of more money coming in....If it isnt 1 of those corporations, it sure would be nice to partner with them moving forward from a donor perspectivie specific to the athletic department, as I know they have donated to KSU from an overall perspective and they employ many KSU alumni....

Think of the possibilities of the renovated MACC, though.

Ray’s Concession Stands!

This gives me an idea... I might start a vacuum company in Summit County, name it "Akron Sucks," then buy the naming rights to the JAR.

You might need to be more explicit in the insult. This is (the alleged University of ) Akron, that you are referring to.

My vote goes to The "F*^K You Bob" Court at Mr. Spring Break Arena.

You think it will be announced within the next week or was it announced and I just didnt see it?

When does the court officially become Kolp (sp?) court?

I have not seen an official announcement on this at but I know that Danny B is correct in that the naming rights donation has been (or soon will be) made. My guess is that there will be a ceremony soon (tonights big game would have been a good one to do it at).

Any word on who the donor is or when they will be officially announced?
