University of Cincinnati to remove Marge Schott's name from baseball stadium

The University of Cincinnati will remove Marge Schott's name from its baseball stadium, citing the late Cincinnati Reds owner's "record of racism and bigotry."

The university's board of trustees on Monday unanimously voted to remove Schott's name from the stadium and from the university's archives library. The decision is effective immediately.

Former Bearcats outfielder Jordan Ramey started a petition earlier this month to remove Schott's name. On Tuesday, the petition was approaching 10,000 signatures. University president Neville Pinto also had recommended the removal to the board.

The university's baseball facility was named Marge Schott Stadium in 2006 after the school received a $2 million donation from the Marge and Charles J. Schott Foundation.

They are really missing an opportunity to connect with their fans. "Jugaloo Stadium" is a natural

Feel like this needs posted in a handful of places. Also, I too had never seen MSU’s outfield.

Love seeing some of these ridiculous ballpark quirks.

Nebraska baseball, playing with a chance to clinch a Big Ten title on Sunday, took most of the drama out of the day with a five-run first inning en route to a 9-0 win over Ohio State in Bloomington, Indiana. The win, coupled with Maryland’s win over Michigan earlier in the day, allowed the Huskers to clinch the outright Big Ten championship and the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

Nebraska (29-11) finished the Bloomington Pod 4-0, and will host Michigan next weekend in Lincoln having already wrapped up the second conference title of the Big Ten era. This season, the Huskers navigated a 44-game all-conference schedule, and did so by only playing 12 home games before clinching the conference title on Sunday.

College ball looks fun as hell when you have a team.

Fans and dugouts pumped up on every pitch. Vols had a crazy walkoff tonight.

Again, absolutely electric what college baseball has to offer. Makes the sport fun.

1) it would be cool to see Ohio State fans get the chance to go bonkers in a regional or maybe even Omaha

2) think of how wild college football crowds/games will be this fall

How can you die from Tommy John surgery? I guess you can get an infection from any surgical procedure, but damn. You never would think having Tommy John surgery is risking your life.

Don't get your hopes up. OSU administration does not value baseball like it does other sports. The fact that they aren't bottom dwellers is good enough for them.
