I would have had an even bigger issue had it been Arrilaga because he is much more a donor to athletics than academics

And I don't mean to diminish how the Bings have helped Stanford in any way. I just think that when you give this honor to a donor it creates a perception that it's for sale - even if it isn't

Plenty of other ways to honor supporters - scholarship funds, buildings, etc
