I read this morning it was decided they were changing it. Not true?

The field itself is changing names at the request of the Joe Jamail Family. The field was named after Joe Jamail, a great friend and benefactor to UT athletics. His family requested the change to honor two of his favorite players, Ricky Williams and Earl Campbell. I believe I read this conversation with the family and UT started before the Eyes of Texas issue and something the family wanted to do.

Things are named for people that give money too. The family that gave the money are the ones who requested to take their family name off and name it after two of their dad’s favorite players / people. The University, Alums, Donors, current players, etc didn’t make this decision the family did. Their money, their wish.
