Message: [QUOTE="reedny, post: 3082303, member: 1423"] They did pay for it (way back), but clearly the gravy train has ended. SU's done. As to the "national value", the lifeblood of any facility name flows from the site. To pay for a name at a Northeast University sports building (or to fund a dispute about one) - I would expect the buyer to have a heavy footprint in central NY and want to enhance the brand. Carrier went the other direction, and moved jobs to Mexico and has its headquarters and major operations out of state. So why squabble with the site owner here - a building about to be rebuilt? The value of the name to Carrier has been minimized through it's own decisions, and SU's rebuild plans. So as you pointed out, Carrier will soon have a hard choice to make. SU seems to be betting that Carrier's not in it for the long-haul (again). I'd tend to agree. We'll see. [/QUOTE]
