"More to the point, the owner gets paid off in other ways, starting with the pay. The owner gets to name the stadium after himself (or herself, in those cases where a woman owns a team), even though most owners have sought out more money by selling said rights.

Pretty insignificant considering what has been going on the past few days, but Wednesday morning I heard both local and national news anchors refer to our University as “UNC” while reporting on the Keith Scott shooting. Good Morning America was one of them.

Looks like you ordered the wrong hat.
