Actually, the more I think about it, the more the name works.

Because this was Neville in the first movie




And this was him by the 8th movie


Much like Auburn, we were looking like Neville there in the first movie when Bruce Pearl got here. And now, in year 8, we're #1 and a hottie.


Being called Neville works here.

Name the practice facility after them. Don’t mess with ‘Auburn arena’ and ruin it.

Anyone else notice that neither Bill nor Connie Nelson went to AU? Bill went to Rice and Columbia, Connie went to NYU/Columbia.

Bill's dad must have been a true die hard if his son is donating 8 figures to a school athletics he didn't attend

Know one here will complain until someone gives 100 million and want to rename Jordan Hare to Cook Rane or Harbert Mcwhorter stadium. It’s coming

frick, I wish I was if they're throwing around $20+ million dollar donations to schools they didn't even attend.

Imagine how much money their family has.

It's certainly strange that some folks here cannot fathom why big donors are necessary to run athletic departments. Or when someone donates millions, they get their name on something significant.

I've also heard that the couple in question can be seen enjoying themselves on the baseline in this video. Dancing

Renaming something is completely different and it's not happening.

I just think its funny the article talks about how humble they are and how they are doing it for Auburn... yet they put their name on the building

The donation is good, don't get me wrong, but you will never hear or see me call it any version of Neville, Neville arena, Ville, or anything else.

Personally, if I was in a position to donate/name buildings, I would name them after notable alumni, professors, Auburn staff/admin, or someone who had a major positive influence in the actual town of Auburn.

Someone should have talked to Bob. Broadway Arena would have been cool.

oooo, they danced on the baseline with their court side seats. Let's put their name on the Arena!!!!! Actually, let's rename the entire college after them.

I loathe our idiot administration putting an embarrassing name on the arena when they could’ve named the practice facility after them.

I think the backlash this is getting on social media is ridiculous! Money makes the world go round & it is a crazy generous donation! This is how we get nice things. We should be nothing but appreciative! End of rant.
