INDIANAPOLIS -- After a multi-million dollar donation to Butler University, the Butler Bowl will be renamed.

The estate of Winstan (Bud) and Jacqueline Sellick made a $9.4 million donation to the school, according to a release. The Butler Bowl is used for the team's soccer and football games.

The Butler Bowl will be renamed the Bud and Jackie Sellick Bowl. The Champions Room in the Sellick Bowl will be the Bud and Jackie Sellick Room, and the Registrar's Office will become the Jacqueline Blomberg Sellick Registrar's Suite.

The couple was married for 69 years. Jackie died in 2012, and Bud died in 2015.

The money will be shared between athletics, the Lacy School of Business and the general fund.

The Sellicks were donors to Butler for more than 30 years.
