Rutgers is naming its basketball court after Jim Valvano; what the hell are you doing, NC State?

Sometimes it takes a moment of absurdity to help you realize how dumb you're being. You might be stubborn, you might even be right, but you lose an inch every time you think you've made a point. Witness: NC State sports in 2017.

Rutgers announced Monday that it will name its home basketball court after Jim Valvano, who played for the Scarlet Knights in the 1960s. Jim Valvano was not a remarkable player for Rutgers, but Rutgers had the good sense to recognize a great alumnus, while NC State has somehow spent the better part of three decades finding ways to not recognize its most iconic head coach.
