    Should Ron Polk's name be on the new stadium?

    Since the grand ole lady is about to come down, somebody convince me his name should be there. Has there been any effort to reconcile? Discuss.

    Doesn't really matter what anyone's opinion is. It's staying. Short of John wanting to really piss off a lot of people.

    Yes Polk's name should stay on the stadium. And from what I have heard MSU has attempted to reconcile. The ball is in Polk's court on that. Not holding my breath on that changing.

    If anything- Larry Templeton's name needs to be removed from whatever building his name is on in my opinion.

    It was his poor decision to bring Polk back in the first place and try to ruin MSU baseball. If that doesn't happen- the shitshow of 2007-2009 doesn't happen.

    Why would you put someone's name on a Stadium that never won a National Championship?

    He did do a lot of good things for MSU baseball. Most of them before 1998. My question is why you would bring back someone that has their name on the stadium that obviously devoted a lot of his time to things other than the baseball program?

    Is this serious? Yes his name should be on the stadium. He is largely responsible for the fact that the posters on here love and care about MSU baseball.

    No. Why is this a question? It's a different stadium. Complete rebuild.

    Looks like people forgot what he did upon Cohen's hire. It was inexcusable and he has yet to apologize.

    He needs to grow a pair of balls, man up and do so publicly.

    Maybe we should just put Rosebowl on it and be done.

    A statue of Rosebowl would be an interesting conversation piece.....we could put it at the NE corner of DW where the visiting teams get off the bus...

    Whatever he did doesn't take away from the fact that he is the reason we have the top 10 attendance records in baseball, can recruit as well as anybody in the country, our head job is a top 5-10 job, and baseball is the only sport where it is universally accepted that we can compete nationally every year. I don't particularly like the guy for the way he left, but he is the reason baseball is what it is here instead of being like football or basketball.

    There are acts against our university that should be unacceptable no matter who you are. No individual eclipses the program overall.

    Absolutely it should, If there were no Polk there is no baseball tradition at MSU, say what you will but that is a fact.

    We were good before Ron Polk. Saying baseball is good because of RP is wrong.

    I remember Paul Gregory and the LFL was because of his program.

    Ron Polk played a big part, but he also caused problems that should not happened. Thank the Ninja!
