This part was news to me. When did the name change occur? Did Jim Host agree with the name change?

Actually, Mr. Host stepped down from the organization several years ago. The company continued operating under that name and he remained on the Board.
Last November, when IMG purchased the two main divisions within the Host family (Collegiate and Association Management Divisions) I suddenly became an IMG employee.
