The kindler, gentler Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall thread

[Woodsonshump 305]

Does anybody know if this renaming has a time frame on it?  In other words, in exchange for the $40 mil, did IU agree to put the donor's name on it for 10 years? 20 years?  Forever? Reason I ask, is for those who don't really care for the renaming (I'm one of them), maybe an agreement like that would give an out clause to possibly return to the original Assembly Hall name, or rename it after someone else at that later time.

I will admit that yesterday, I was one of those fans that was very disappointed about the name change for AH. Today, I find that I still don't like it but I've come to realize that times change things. If we don't change, we'll be left behind. Bottom line...it's not my call. So I will remain a loyal Hoosier. I don't want to seem ungrateful for this very generous donation. So, thank you Cindy and Go Hoosiers.

Great of her for giving so much, very generous!   I'm more concerned as to why we don't have an "official" game thread yet.. :)
