Jim.

This is old news. They have been trying for years to get someone to pay for naming rights. Like putting advertising on a garbage truck.

Frankly , court should be named for Laing Kennedy. He is singularly responsible for making basketball relevant at KSU .

Dix family said awhile ago if a deal could be made on stadium for $$$ they had no objections.

Davey Tree Fieldhouse and Smithers Oasis Stadium.

Won’t happen Davey and Kent State have history going way back.
Not the place for this forum but always heard a former CEO of Davey had a falling out with KSU.

Similarly after Thurman Munsons death , Steinbrenner approached KSU about building Kent a new baseball stadium to honor #15. Brage Golding then KSU President and not a sports fan offended George. George was a blowhard but very generous to causes he believed in. ( Huge benefactor of OSU marching band ) George walked and that was that. BTW Golding is also one of two KSU presidents with nothing named in their honor.

History not on the side of KSU when it comes ti big donors.
New business buikding hopefully breaks that mold. Time will tell

BACK TO BASKETBALL .... looks like that CSU gme is on the road, not at home.
