Money Talks (Again)

The playing surface at the Carolina Coliseum was named for Frank McGuire back in 1977. The picture below was from the women’s BB practice yesterday, showing that the court is now named for Jeff and Leslie Archie (?). Tradition taking a back seat to a fat donation?

I could very well be wrong, but I've always heard it referred to as the Frank McGuire Arena. Was his name on the court before? Is there a difference between the naming of the "arena" and the "court". Genuine question, as I don't know.

I mean it's a practice facility - it seems that the bigger issue would be that his name isn't on the court at Colonial Life.

Who are these people you speak of?

Yeah, that would be almost like paying money to put your patch on the team's underwear.
