LSU has a relatively new policy to only posthumously name buildings after people. If I remember correctly, a building on campus had to be renamed because the guy it was named for turned out to be a pederast.

In the ceremony after the final game in the old Box, Skip explained very clearly that it was Alec, but spelled Alex.
