man, you're even more relentless about randomly throwing in NIL rants than that "fuck her right in the pussy" dood is on the news.

It was a nice to have, not a rant.
A postscript if you will.

In the center of the grass in front of Allen, create a circular fountain with a spout for every season Bill Self coached, etch the results of the season in the outer stone where that particular spout shoots out water, in the center is a Bill Self statue. Then rename Sunnyside Ave to Bill Self Ave - it connects with Naismith Drive.
love this, though not a fan of a fountain-based memorial…just seems too seasonal (particularly when so much of the traffic would seem to visit when it’s either frozen or shuttered for the winter)
Sunnyside though, would be perfect for just such a renaming

Maybe in the winter, when there ain't water, have them be crimson and blue lights.
During the day, in the winter, well, it's still a cool sculpture.

maybe like, a Bill Self Trophy Room.
Or maybe years from now rename the Booth family Hall of Athletics

Booth's family would not like that.

Well, they have evening/night games at Allen, so the 'backup' lights would still work.
So you get water to start the season ( it's like upper 60s in Lawrence this week ) and then again to end the season ( it got into the 70s by early March ).
In between, cool lights.

I think the crimson and blue lights should be laser lights, which shine bright into the sky.
And before every game have a drone light show up in the air too, with the drones forming Bill Self's face above AFH, and extra attention given to the detail of his hairpiece.
As for paying for all this, have the Booth family do it, and tell them if they don't then we're renaming the hall of athletics after Self's hairpiece too.
