RE: email from Whit
“Mrs. Nippert was a generous benefactor to the University of Cincinnati,” says UC President Gregory Williams. “Much of her generosity was anonymous, so there are many students and faculty who do not understand how much she has benefited them. She was a great friend of the university for many years, and her affection and her presence always meant a great deal to us.”

http://magazine.uc.edu/favorites/obits/nippert.html

"Mrs. Nippert and her late husband were responsible for quietly underwriting many of their hometown’s institutions, from medicine and education to music and the zoo, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars – usually anonymously."

http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20120...n-dies-100

"Specific gifts at UC included funding for the 1995 renovation of the former Schmidlapp Gymnasium into the Dieterle Vocal Arts Center (named in honor of her parents), scholarships and the endowment of the Dieterle Chair of Music, the Thomas James Kelly Chair (CCM’s first endowed chair), the Nippert Chair of Law and the Frank Mayfield Endowed Chair for Neurosurgery."

Then name some buildings after her, a pavilion, a garage, build a damn statue of them, but not selling naming rights to the stadium is dumb. If there are buyers that is. If the Bearcats football program falls back into the abyss having her name on the stadium won't mean much anyways.

Now is not the time to be hesitant, it's balls to the wall time.

Did you miss the part that said she donated hundreds of millions of dollars>

No naming rights pay that.

There are other ways to raise money besides just the simplistic idea of selling the naming rights.
You don't bite the hand (or the families hand) that feeds you and has been for nearly a century.

Additionally, if UC were to sell the naming rights and rename Nippert after the Nipperts donated a ton of money originally, how many future donors that spend money to build a building in their family's or companies name, will trust that UC will not do the same to them in the future.

Fundraising is about relationship and trust building.

Uc has raised roughly $20 mil towards the stadium project without selling any of the naming rights, yet.

They will sell naming rights to the new renovated part of the stadium, just as they did with the Hershede / shank pavilion. From what I have been told, the luxury boxes are selling fast. 10 year commitment for 1 mil.

Let me ask, what is the difference between selling the naming rights to the shoemaker center, tearing down emery hall and building a new building with a different name, or selling the naming rights to Nippert stadium?

There is probably no real difference, only a moral obligation.

Exactly. If UC makes a promise, they should keep it.

I could be missing something, but there's still an Emory Hall on campus, and I'm almost certain that the whole building is still called the Shoemaker Center and Fifth Third Arena is just one part of that building as a whole. They've already set ghis precedent...I don't understand why it's such a bad thing to want to keep the soul of a building intact rather than slapping a terrible corporation name on it that makes it sound like a bad joke.

You are correct. UC basketball plays on Ed Jucker Court in 5th/3rd arena at the Myrll E. Shoemaker Center on the campus of the University of Cincinnati. Mary Emery Hall is part of the CCM complex of buildings.

The comments were directed toward the idea of breaking the promise to the Nippert family to retain the name of Nippert Stadium.

My bad. Emery hall was only partially demolished in the late 90's. the point is Uc sold the naming rights to the shoemaker center after they took the money for those naming rights years earlier. The basketball team used to play in the shoe. No they play in 5/3rd arena.

No, the Shoe is still the Shoe. The court has another name and the arena has a name, but the Shoe is still the Shoe.

They now play on Jucker Court, in 5/3 Arena at Shoemaker Center. So, the shoe is still the shoe.

That was a great game last week on Jucker court. Never heard anyone say that. Yes the court is named after Ed Jucker. Yes, the building is still named the Shoemaker center. Remember when the games were payed at the shoemaker center. Now they are played in 5/3 arena. Go to a game. They do not welcome you to the shoemaker center, even though that is what I still call it. They welcome you 5/3 arena. All I am saying is UC has in the past taken $$$$ and sold naming rights even though they had taken $$$ for the same thing years before.

Would it be so bad to for the university to welcome you to Nippert Stadium presented by Procter and Gamble? Personally, I am not that big of a fan of it, but I realize that money talks and UC desperately needs $.
