FAU stadium close to naming rights deal

Postby armchairqb » Tue Feb 19, 2013 11:52 pm

This is not common at all for lower tier FBS programs. What's more intriguing is the company that's willing to shell out $5M to be associated with FAU's stadium.

The only reason FAU can be doing this, is because some other Alumnus will pony up 10 million so it is not named after this Prison Group.

Oh Donovan.....yee of little faith and much cynicism. The correct spin:

Having a stadium named for a company dedicated to the rehabilitation of young men, who have had a few hard knocks in life, is so inspiring that FAU should be ashamed to take money for it.

I have sat at your feet and have been enlightened...My eyes opened, by golly.

So after FAU wins their game and the press interviews the player of the game....and is asked...Where are you going? Does he reply, "I'm going to prison."
