Well, Houston terminated the name rights of Enron and didn't give any money back I think.
I'm sure some accountant could figure out the pro-rat for 'services rendered'. Maybe after 7 years, they'll get nothing. I think the Daughters of the Confederacy got a bargain anyway.
Or maybe they could turn it into a sorority house. Preferably one that honors the mission statement or is closer to the Daughters of the Confederacy, like the Southern Belles (I'm not sure if this is a real org or sorority but hopefully you get the idea). That way, they could preserve the name, it would still be choice (choose to live there) and they could swap with a existing sorority house or build a new dorm.
I think that would be a good compromise, everyone saves face and no one's rights gets trampled on..
On a side note: Would anyone be offended if someone endowed a dorm and named it "Yankee Pride"? We need to be a bit careful when it comes to policing this type of thing. (at least I think so).
