I don't think the contract would have stated that the name had to stay on in perpetuity.
They got 70 years, that is enough I believe. It should be their perogative after that. If the DOC gave them the money 20 or 30 years ago I would say they should have to leave the name or pay back. After 70... I think a good basis would be copywright laws to be used as a standard. So it's come due.
Side note. Southerners need to let it go. Why hang on to a losing side that was blatantly wrong for so long?
