Um.....not really.

First, it was the Student Government Association (SGA) wanting to do it, mostly.

Second, our previous AD, in her infinite wisdom and with apparently not great legal advise, signed a life-of-the-facility naming rights contract for only $10m that had no real "morals" clause.

Third, no one is giving back $10m, so after they explained the bad contract to the SGA things eventually calmed down.

Fourth, apparently Jerry was pleased university leadership didn't push the issue and let it be known he was grateful for that; so maybe once all the legalities are finished with the trusts he set up, we might get more money.

I can say with a high degree of certainty that UNCC back channeled the Richardson family and quietly asked for a cancellation-keeping the $$ already given and forgoing future payments.

Richardsons said no- they'll take the $$ returned to consider cancellation.

UNCC still put it to a vote by the BOT, but had no intention of returning the $$.

Yeah, right-----"Ballantyne App" has all the connections to the Charlotte BOT. Sounds credible. 01-wingedeagle

He's not wrong. There was a BoT discussion on it and it was decided that it wasn't worth the legal effort to pursue it. Then the SGA voted not to force the issue. I'm sure someone discretely asked Jerry if he'd be okay with his name being removed but letting us keep the money and Jerry told them no.

We "back-channeled" the Richardson family? I don't think so.

I hope that's not true, but with the brain trust we've had during rough patches it wouldn't surprise me unfortunately.

I am a little surprised that a fan of the school that named their stadium after a criminal who spent 18 months in state prison for defrauding the people of NC would even bring something like this up. Well, maybe I am not surprised.

you serious, clark?

I'm proud to have an advocate of small government protesting against the reckless squandering of our State resources as our stadium benefactor.

It perfectly embodies the rugged autarchy of the Appalachian peoples.

The only thing better would be Junior Johnson stadium, with free corn whiskey for all.

Brewer paid highway commissioner engineers to rig specifications in favor of the companies he worked for. That is stealing from the citizens of NC, not standing up for the little guy. My source?

I would imagine the genteel patronage of this board would not be familiar with Appalachian vernacular. Universal parlance was required.

Could be a lot worse.
UNC Stadium Honoree Was Captain In Wilmington Massacre

Quote:The burning of the Record was just the beginning of the violence. And William Rand Kenan Sr. played a particularly significant — and deadly role — in what followed.

"He had the rank of Captain in this militia company," Watson says. "He was given the responsibility of commanding the machine-gun wagon. This crowd actually had bought a machine gun and installed it on the back of a horse-drawn wagon.

"And Captain Keenan commanded the group of men who drove it into action. And it is believed that they opened fire at an intersection and killed 25 people at once. It was a very well-planned military operation."

Most historians agree that at least 60 people died, but possibly hundreds. Spotty records make a specific count impossible. Hundreds more black citizens — mostly journalists and business and political leaders — fled the city. Once the white supremacists’ grasp on power was secured, they implemented the sorts of Jim Crow laws that had taken hold elsewhere in the South, disenfranchising blacks for the next 67 years.

Although I have to admit that in 2018 UNC eventually did the right thing and renamed Kenan Stadium...after his son, William Rand Kenan Jr.

Apparently you must be jealous. Coming to the AAC forum to troll and throw shade isn't the action of a confident or content fan. Enjoy the SlumBelt.
