The Board of Curators at the University of Missouri has voted to change the name of the new basketball fieldhouse from the Paige Sports Arena to Mizzou Sports Arena. The name change came up after allegations that the previous namesake, Paige Laurie – an heir to the Wal-Mart fortune – had cheated her way through the University of Southern California. Her parents, Bill and Nancy Laurie, had donated $25-Million to build the new arena but relinquished the naming rights after the scandal came up.
