Reposted on: 24.11.11 1738.24 | Okay, here's the really amusing (sad) thing. All her family (the Lauries and the Kroenkes) lives in Columbia, MO, my town.
They're pretty driven to build Wal-Marts everywhere around here, needless to say (I've helped stop 2 of them). But we also just built a whole, new expensive basketball arena for the Missouri Tigers, and they name it Paige arena, after that daughter. There was already a whole huge outcry over the name, both because Paige never actually attended school here, and because people don't feel we should our arena after someone simply because they belong to the Wal-Mart family.
Well, after this cheating fiasco, the name has been withdrawn, Thank God, and they're going to pick something else. Personally, I think we should just call it the Plage arena. | Crimedog

Of course, the staggering irony in all this is that people are upset that they wanted to name Missouri's arena after an alleged cheater. | | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
