UCLA and Wescom Credit Union (Pasadena, CA) have agreed to a 10-year, $38 million sponsorship deal, which includes renaming Pauley Pavilion.
Going forward, the school's basketball arena will be called the Edwin W. Pauley Pavilion presented by Wescom.
The partnership agreement names Wescom as the exclusive banking partner for the UCLA Campus Life program, the UCLA Alumni Association, UCLA Athletics and the Rose Bowl.
Additional elements of the agreement include establishing a Wescom branch in Ackerman Student Union and installing five Wescom ATMs around campus.

As a credit union person, the name change is good for Wescom and for the industry. As a UCLA alum, it's sad to see a sponsor attached to a stadium name. Pauley Pavilion is as recognizable as Yankee Stadium and Lambeau Field.
