Jacobson, Northern Iowa - 188
Iba, Oklahoma A&M - 187

Likely means UNI will be playing at the Jacobson-McLeod Center one day.

McLeod naming rights expire in 2026. Big push from the fresh base to rename it to Eldon Miller Arena for the time being until Jake retires, though most likely it'll have some corporate name.

Jacobson Court @ (Corporate name) Center?

We sold the court naming rights in perpetuity when we were desperate to get the building finished.

It sucks but it is what it is and the building exists.

One hell of an accomplishment for Jake. I'd assume the league coach of the year award becomes the Ben Jacobson Award after he's done in another 10-15 years.
