    Isnt naming these places after people, and erecting statues what the snowflakes are protesting against? Seems like if you throw enough money at it and know the right people it doesn't really matter.

    My question is what happens if people find this ego driven, self made, outspoken, fake tanning, real estate mogul, white guy, offensive.

    In June 2010, the University of Houston announced a $40 million plan to renovate Hofheinz Pavilion. Ultimately in November 2015, the Board of Regents approved a $60 million complete re-design of the facility to open in 2018, funded in part by a $20 million gift from UH alum Tilman Fertitta. After the Hofheinz family objected to the building be renamed, the school and the family reached a settlement to honor Judge Hofheinz by building a plaza containing a bronze statue of him near the facility, which will be called Fertitta Center. In addition, the UH library will archive Hofheinz's historical records in a special section. Finally, UH will petition the city of Houston to change the name of Holman Street between Cullen Boulevard and Scott Street to honor the Hofheinz family.

      How about naming rights to a corporate entity? Heck, I like the sound of TBH LOFTS if they want to write the check for it! The Hilton School of Hospitality rocks at UH...........actually nationally acclaimed! WE all can find excuses to why something cant work, lets find a reason why they CAN work.

                That sounds like something Rodney King would say.
