Wednesday’s Arizin (Sept. 7): The Dunk is now The AMP

It’s hump day!

In case you missed it, Ed Cooley got a contract extension, much deserved. It’s always great to have one of the top Big East characters and coaches stay around. Then, on the flip side, it was probably good news to soften the blow for the bad news for Providence fans. The Dunkin Donuts Center is being renamed and the Dunk will now be known as “The AMP.” Yay or nay?
