Is it just me, or does anybody else raise an eyebrow at Healthcare systems sponsoring and buying naming rights of college sports facilities? Its not just UCD, of course the Dakota's have a lot of money coming from the Sanford healthcare system.

Question is is the Sanford name in the healthcare system also a naming rights thing? He made his money in credit cards. So he donates a huge amount of money and its now the Sanford Healthcare system?


On February 3, 2007, Sanford announced a $400 million gift to Sioux Valley Hospitals and Health System (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanford_Health-MeritCare), which renamed itself Sanford Health (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanford_Health-MeritCare).[9 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T._Denny_Sanford#cite_note-abc-9)

You make a good point...I have no problem with Denny Sanford donating $ to a healthcare system, that's good philanthropy...Are the sports complex $ donated by Denny Sanford, or is the $ coming from Sanford Health?

My bet is Denny Sanford, He has his name on a lot of stuff. And by putting his name on it with a donation they intern contract Sanford Health to take care of their athletes.

If he's doing the donating and its not coming out of the healthcare system then I have no problem with it. UC Davis health is not a billionaire philanthropist though.

In this case, its UC Davis Health pitching in money for UC Davis Athletics which includes training facilities, classrooms, and a sports medicine section.
