“North South Drive, the road that runs alongside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, was renamed Gale Lemerand Drive a year ago to honor the man who had donated millions to the University Athletic Association and the university.”

As for Gale Lemerand, very generous, sir, but you already have all this named after you.
