It is a bad idea to confer permanent naming honors to living people, etc. Missouri should have learned that lesson.
MU named an arena after a young women and then it was discovered that she had cheated her way through college. There is an endowed chair with Ken Lay's name on it. A Mansanto auditorium.

Rush still has plenty of time to screw up even worse and be an even more extreme embarrassment for MO.
