Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 5122791, member: 628"] Yeah, that article is wrong. It was actually a stupid thing for SU to do at the time. Actual naming rights deals had been done for nearly 10 years before the Dome was built (Schaefer Stadium, anyone?). They never should have accepted a donation and slapped the name on the building. Of course I'm not surprised there was no one with any sports business savvy at SU then. I'll just reiterate that it's not a "horrible" deal. It's a deal that isn't valued as much as the SEC or B1G. Does anyone think the ACC would get SEC or B1G money if their rights were on the open market right now? I'll answer that... there's no chance in hell. And part of why is because the conference isn't nearly as good at football. And part of that reason why is because FSU took a 5 year hiatus from being really good at football. It's all intertwined. But whatever. FSU is welcome to burn a sh!tton of money in legal fees. Good luck with that. [/QUOTE]
