     I haven't sensed one person from Creighton is complaining at all.  They should know Creighton University doesn't own the building and the public is entitled to whatever in the building.  Still Creighton does indeed play their home games there.  I could see the same thing happening if it was the Devaney Center.  I am not saying it is right or wrong.  I am just saying I somewhat understand.
