UC Image-improvement Program Sold for $2M
By Edmund Osterman | Dealer staff writer    Wed, Dec 7, 2005
 

CLIFTON - When UC president Nancy Zimpher fired basketball coach Bob Huggins, she cited as the main reason the damage he and the players he brought in did to the university's reputation. The university continued its public relations drive this week by agreeing to name its new 3,300-seat baseball stadium after Marge Schott, a woman nationally famed for her constant spewing of racial and ethnic slurs.

The naming display will include the phrase "The Lady Loved Baseball," and (in smaller script), "Adolf Hitler was initially good for Germany."

The renaming of the stadium was initiated by the Marge and Charles J. Schott Foundation's donation of $2,000,000 to UC. In addition to the stadium's name and plaque, the Schott Foundation also requires via contract that baseball games continue with a maximum two-minute delay after the death of an umpire or player.
