Like sports stadiums, universities are auctioning off lucrative naming rights for their medical schools. It’s big money, as the University of Minnesota is seeking $150 million for the honor of naming their medical school.
For now, it’s limited to wealthy donors. But how soon will it be before corporations make an offer universities can’t refuse?

Lol. Phillip Morris School of Medicine.
$150 million, I can see, but for Minnesota? You must be joking. Maybe for Yale or Duke, I suppose, but Minnesota? Their school team is the Gophers, for Pete’s sake.
Besides, where would a *doctor* ever come up with that sort of scratch?
Busch Women’s Medical Center.
I couldn’t resist.
