Just remove it. And remove coaches' names from every building on campus.

I agree. But this is going to be one of, if not the main thing people point to as they argue it should be left as is.

For the record, I'm not saying any of it is wrong.

You're saying all this is right then? sick

Rename? Yost Ice Arena? Crisler Arena? Oosterbaan Fieldhouse? Fisher Stadium? Why?

I would say if a scandal don?t get exposed regarding these other stiffs, let?s just leave it be.

I could dial that back to "leave names in place provided they've not done anything reprehensible by current moral standards AND they've been dead long enough to minimize the risk that we discover horrible things about them."

I'm vaguely aware that there already are discussions about renaming Yost Ice Arena, that have something to do with his views or practices on race.

He's more or less personally responsible for college football's "Original Sin" of making itself bigger than the educational institutions it purportedly serves, when he threw a fit after then-President Angell tried to reign in the sport & ban Yost from all his side hustles.

In Don Canham's book, he talks about Yost with some amusement, but in less-than-reverential terms; notes that Yost was an excuse maker and never took responsibility for losses.

Kinda makes me wonder if in a different era of Michigan football, Yost's record would be closer to our other West Virginian coach...

I agree (now)

or name them after concepts, not men or women.

"Liberty Arena," "Freedom Stadium," "Justice Ice Arena"

I just said this vastly more succinctly yet also more ironically in the post right before yours.

If they do change the name of Yost Arena I think she should change it to ?Toast Arena.?

Then we could all start humorously saying ?Yost is Toast.?.

If a scandal emerges and we change any names, let?s go with your idea.

But not Colonial Arena - there?s already one of those the Deep South.

I know that Ross bought the rights for the entire athletic campus. So let?s put all the building names up for bid!

They are dead white men. Seems that would qualify as scandalous to more than a few.

Or ?Just Ice Arena?

I just want everyone to be happy, so let's go with Yost -> Hillary Clinton Ice Arena, Crisler -> The Trump Arena, and then for football, let's call it Xi Stadium and put up the world's biggest pictures of Xi on it.
