I am not sure FSU cared that much about Jimbo leaving after he got boat raced by a bad Boston College team 35-3.

Not a bad idea. I see no harm and a lot of potential benefits.

Lololol Thanks for putting your stupidity on full display. Show me the contract where UT committed to leave his name on the building until the end of time. You act as if there are so many clearly spelled out conditions to the money he gave as if it was a professional sponsorship agreement, not a donation. Just the very nature of a “donation” means he is giving money away, not receiving consideration. He/his family are not owed any damages, and UT wouldn’t be doing anything immoral by changing the name after Littlefield has had his name on there for 100 fucking years.
You’re like those losers on twitter who scream “THINK ABOUT THE OWNERS!!!” every time a CBA comes up. The Littlefield family are not the ones suffering an injustice in the scenario you brought up.
It would not be a breach of contract. It would be promissory estoppel.

Pass the donation bucket. I'll pitch in.
I'm sure that $20 will go a long way.

The problem with these slippery slope arguments, besides the fact that they're an obvious logical fallacy, is that you're also trying to equate easy moves with extremely difficult moves.
What the fuck does one have to do with the other?
This OMG where does it all end bullshit is just a way to deflect and delay. Make these changes, it's easy.
It's hypocritical and wrong to pull Littlefield's name from shit he donated while keeping the money he donated. There is no "obvious logical fallacy" to that.

no bones to pick with anyone. I just know a lot of women would have a problem with it. Just curious question
I imagine a lot of women allied with the players would have some major problems with some of the misogynistic lyrics in the music on most of these new activists' favorite playlists.

LBJ was pretty damned racist. He has a library on campus.

Would you rather be the school who did the right thing even though it cost a lot of money, or the school who didn't do the right thing because, well, it was pretty expensive?
I don't have a problem removing them. But don't keep the benefit. Give them their money back with interest.
Would the right thing be to also shut down a school that excluded blacks from admission? Why not?
What about cities and towns honoring slave owners? Houston and Austin need new names.

Was the band in blackface when they debuted the song? Wonder if there are yearbook pics.

You do realize that most of these buildings are not named after donors, right?
Some are. For those, the only right thing to do is to return the money. Littlefield certainly donated the money for the fountain. $200,000 donation plus interest for 100 years is a tidy sum.

What if they're a bigoted asswipe?
The school shouldn't keep their tainted money.
Donor would have a pretty decent promissory estoppel claim also.

If you pull a donor's name off a building, the money should be returned to the donor's family with interest.

Texas used to be a segregated university. Burn it down.

Over a fight song. Ha. So you want to be 1990s SMU?
It will be tough to give up all the thrilling wins we've had the last ten years.

If the powers that be are gonna end the Chaz experiment why not just play some 70’s/80’s country music on a few loud speakers at 6:00 am non-stop for 24 hours. It’s been proven that this works with classical music and loiters (see 7/11 and their success it’s it). Just kick it up a notch on the loud speaker. There’s no way the Chaz would survive. Plus, we need some podcasts from the Chaz until they are forced out.
70s-80s country music is actually good. Need some modern bro country on repeat.

Is it even legal for the school to donate money to a political organization?

Studies vary but most agree symptoms show up as early as 2-3 days after exposure and the average is closer to 5-6 days. 14 days is thought to be the max time for incubation.

Texas COVID hospitalizations fell yesterday. And since more people are being admitted for non-COVID reasons (finally, thankfully), but are being tested for COVID, of course there will be more “COVID” patients in the hospitals, whether they were admitted for COVID or for some unrelated reason and are asymptomatic but positive for COVID.

Had they had a chance to pat him down and know whether he had other arms? I am not sure. I have just seen the Wendy's video where he turns and points something at them.
