So where do the Rays play after Milton?

Move 'em to Cambridge MA and they can be the Ray Charles

I always wanted to see them in  northern New Jersey as the Raritan Bay Rays.

There's the old Barves stadium right by the river. Just have to get rid of a few pesky BU dorms that have been built.

Those BU dorms can go - those people sleep around 7 nights a week anyways, they can shower at the gym.

while we are at it, just get rid of BU except the hockey team. No one would miss it outside New York.

St Pete doesn’t want to pay to repair the Trop if the Rays are moving:

I'd be very surprised if they don't move at this point.

Doesn’t their current agreement say they have to pay for repairs. Well I guess the lawyers will figure it out. That’s always fun.

Theology, philosophy, and social ethics would. That's where Martin Luther King chose to study under ES Brightman, a philosopher in the Boston Personalism tradition. After Brightman died, King switched from philosophy of religion to the Boston University School of Theology. His new advisor, Harold DeWolf, became a King family friend ("Uncle Harold") and rallied BU faculty to aid King in the Civil Rights Movement.

predates Silber. Silber actually was pretty active in civil rights in Texas before he came to BU. Turned into a nasty SOB who got the D nomination for governor in 1990, then lost to Weld in the general election. Turning point was when Silber attacked the then most popular TV anchor, Natalie Jacobson, in a sit down interview when she asked what was his greatest weakness.  Silber built up aspects of the school but crushed a lot of eggs along the way.
