with ICANN and get it free of charge.
It was clearly a bad-faith registration by Iam (i.e. [name & email address redacted] based on Whois History) and he would definitely lose rights to the domain if MU ever files a UDRP complaint for it. The domain would be seized by ICANN for a bad-faith violation, and awarded to MU.
In other words, the domain is worthless. He might as well just give it to the University (assuming they want it, maybe they don't care).
This is why Nick (the board's owner) gave GaryPinkel.com to GP when he asked for it. Nick probably knew that a defense wouldn't hold up in a UDRP case, and he likely would have lost the domain anyway, plus burned a bridge with Pinkel and the university. So he did what was logical and gave it away for free (and got some good PR out of it in the process, plus some season tickets IIRC).
With that said, I realize you were only making a joke. I just think it's funny when people imply that the domain has value or that MU would have to pay for it (if they ever decide they want it).
