Naming opportunities available

Do you have an edifice complex?  Do you break out in a cold sweat when you see other people's names on university buildings?  There is a cure.  For a small sum, the administrators of the University of Tucson will be pleased to name a building after you.  Imagine an auditorium, sports stadium, or lab facility proclaiming to the world that you had enough bucks to be recognized in this manner.

What's your degree worth?

My lifelong friend, Ray Lindstrom, has been a successful entrepreneur, advertising genius, and web innovator.  When he told me that he registered the web domain, universityoftucson.com I thought why not create an online academic institution just for fun?  No expensive buildings, overpaid coaches, highly paid professors, and boisterous students.  Just a place to talk about what an ideal university should be.  So we invite you to help us create a virtual campus.  Perhaps we'll be able to offer campus paraphernalia.  Imagine the envy of your friends when they see you decked out in the lastest collegiate wear or sporting a UofT logo tote bag.  And if you are a Latin buff, how about suggesting a college motto?
Do you know the Latin for "It's a Dry Heat?"
