Not much new but nice to see national recognition!

Love how his story continues to be told. Really hope the documentary gets made and the scholarship comes to fruition.
Hopefully the documentary centers on Jack Trice's actions and honorable impact on Iowa State and not some of the other spin in this article.
I thought some of it was over the top but it is important to tell the whole story. And I do think it’s important to point out how long it took to ne the stadium for him.
They did though?Agree. One example of the whole story would have been a few words informing the reader who Catt was if you're going to bring her into the story.
Among other things, Iowa State in 1995 had named its botany building after Carrie Chapman Catt, an Iowa State alumna who had been a leading suffragist and a founder of the League of Women Voters.

You can tell a lot about a person from the eyes. Jack Trice had kind eyes.
Visions Magazine has an excellent article about Catt, including a separate piece about her views and race. Too complex for me to write all of my thoughts, but Catt deserves to have the building named for her at ISU. A real leader, and the 19th amendment would not have passed without her. The situation regarding the interrelationships between women’s suffrage and voting rights was tricky to navigate. Southern people feared black women getting the vote. Anyway, I think Catt did what she had to do to get women the vote. Later statements certainly indicate she was not racist. The American Experience PBS show “The Vote” does an excellent job of covering much of this - if you are interested.They did though?

I can't say I'm impressed with Prof. Schultz's take on this. Most of her comments were pretty derogatory. Why can't honoring Jack Trice simply be that? Honoring an ISU football player with a compelling story.
Yeah, if they want to talk about compromise they can talk about Cyclone Stadium with Jack Trice Field. The activists weren't satisfied with that half solution and pushed for the complete renaming of the stadium.Honestly I didn't like the story at all. The act like Iowa State needed an excuse to name it after Trice. That was not the case at all. The students fought for it and got it. It took a little longer than it should. However, the way they phrased the story made it sound like Iowa State is a bunch of racists who named the stadium to look like we were not racists.

Wasn't the delay in naming the stadium after Jack Trice mostly about hoping a big sponsor would come forward and give enough for the naming rights?
