When I was gettig my Master's at UL-Lafayette, we (UL Volleyball) had to play road games at FIU. They have the most gorgeous campus I've ever seen. I would have loved to have gone to school there.

Report: Paternos turned away offer.
Penn State officials, in an attempt to get the family of Joe Paterno to sign away its right to sue the school, offered to rename Beaver Stadium after the late coach, The Patriot-News has reported, citing a source close to the family.
But the family said no.
Paterno had never been keen on the stadium bearing his name, an idea that "has always been a fan-driven matter. It was never important to Joe," the source told the Harrisburg, Pa., newspaper.
But it would still be "a tremendous and humbling honor," the source said.
Penn State wasn't granted the release, according to a family lawyer. But the school said last week it had agreed to provide millions in payments and benefits to the estate and family members under Paterno's employment contract.
Paterno died in January at 85 after a brief bout with lung cancer, two-and-a-half months after he was fired amid the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. Paterno spent six decades at Penn State and 46 seasons as head coach, winning two national championships and becoming the face of the university.
The school turned over four checks on Thursday worth more than $3 million for bonuses that covered the season, bowl game and entire career, a university spokeswoman said.
While the school said in a news release the total value of the package was "over $5.5 million," added together the various elements are worth about $6.7 million.
A breakdown provided by Penn State included the use by Paterno's family of a Beaver Stadium suite for 25 years -- a deal valued at $1.5 million -- and $900,000 from television and radio revenue from last season.
Paterno family lawyer Wick Sollers issued a statement on Thursday saying there has been no settlement but rather "a straightforward payment of moneys indisputably owed to the Paterno estate. The university had requested the family agree to a full release in return for the payments under the contract. That request was declined and no release was signed."
Without a release, Paterno's estate still could sue under the contract or some other reason, if it wishes.
School spokesman Bill Mahon described it as the university and Paterno's estate finalizing the remaining payments that were due the longtime coach.

Sigh. Everything comes at a price now. Or at least an angle.

Question:
Mr. John L. Smith, what will you do if some hot intern hits on you while on the job at Arkansas?

I don't know if it was ESPN creating fire where there wasn't even smoke, but those two things: the right to sue and the name of the stadium, should not be related in any way, shape or form. "Quid pro quo" has become "you get nothing without giving me something".
Again, I don't know if the linkage between the two was valid, but that article was just a reminder of bitter feelings I already have.

Gotcha.
I didn't think you were meaning that as an attack on Coach Paterno's family, but I had to be certain.

Yeah, absolutely not. I think they're right that JoePa wouldn't have wanted the name, and I hope that was their primary reason for declining. Hard to tell from the way the article was written, but that's what I believe it was.

3 SEC teams and 1 Big 12 team, here we come.
Better than the continued downfall of the Orange Bowl.

Yeah, Orange Bowl was becoming the red-headed step child of the BCS Bowls.
I'd rather see 8 teams, but it's better than we have now (which is better than we had before that).
