From a caption of today's practice pictures.

"Iowa Hawkeyes Moon Family head football coach Kirk Ferentz talks with offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz
during spring football practice at the Hansen Football Performance Center in Iowa City"

How long will this Moon Family title embarrassment last?

Can Ferentz offset his generosity to the Children's Hospital to buy-out this nonsense?
 
If you're gonna read the corporate web site, they're gonna credit their corporate sponsors.

Do you also think they should just say "the football building", rather than the Hansen Football Performance Center?

I'd like to buy naming rights to the kicking tee. That quarter-inch logo will do my business a ton of good!

I don't mind assigning a family name to an object, but assigning a family name to another person just seems wrong and weird.

Good thing former NASCAR driver Dick Trickle isn’t a big Hawkeye supporter ... 🤔

Well, it's assigned to the position.

The next HC will be the Moon Family HC John Doe.

Might be a difference without a distinction.

They're sponsoring an endowed position. This is nothing new in the world of academia.

I can't find a list for Iowa, but here is a long list of Iowa State's endowed positions:


Don’t cheapen the position by typifying sponsor or Iowa State. Iowa State dreams of Iowa’s endowment and this is a perpetual, impactful fund created through generosity.

I know that Barta has a long family-sponsored title, also - just found it: Henry B. and Patricia B. Tippie Director of Athletics. The only time you see those sponsorships spelled out is in official U of Iowa press releases. It's not like the guys at ESPN and FOX will be forced to use it from now on. I'm pretty sure we'll get over it.
