Texas A&M former students and Blue Bell Creameries executives Ed. and Howard Kruse of Brenham along with Blue Bell Creameries have pledged a $7 million lead gift to the 12th Man Foundation's Championship Vision capital campaign for the renovation and expansion of Olsen Field. In recognition of this generous gift, the Texas A&M athletic department leadership has requested that the Texas A&M University System Board of Regents name the extensive new construction as "Blue Bell Park," and that the official name of the baseball facility be changed to C.E. "Pat" Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park. The Board of Regents will consider formal acceptance of the gift at its meeting on Dec. 2, 2010.

what is it about this Blue Bell thing that appeals to you so much?

You want LSU to have coorporate sponsors with naming rights?

I'm just not sure what you find appealing about this Texas A&M approach.

No, thanks.

I do NOT want to see.

"Welcome to Tiger Stadium, sponsored by Shaw Industries!"

Or...

"Welcome to Alex Box Stadium, sponsored by Raising Cane's!"

I showed some CornHusker friends of mine around campus this weekend and they ask if there was a donation box for them to help fix the broken stadium windows. SMH

Yeah, with that kind of logic I can just imagine Preparation H getting naming rights.

We may be a lot of things but when it comes to college sports we're not a bunch of whores!
