In response to SteveChop
With abject apologies (attended by the obligatory bowing and scraping), I find this to be incredibly offensive: if “branding†is a predicate to “raising the required funds to competeâ€, why not sell the name of the institution to the highest (or most robustly aggressive) bidder)? Why not festoon the uniforms of the athletes with advertisements? Why not pay athletes for sponsor tattoos? Really, where does one stop and ask “is this too much, in the grand scheme of matters?â€. At what point is one’s identity determined by the logo on one’s clothing, in contrast to one’s history? Are we game enough to ask these uncomfortable questions? Knowing arrows (some flaming) might be coming my way, do we really want to stumble, blindly, down this road? Just sayin’
