Yes because Paul Brown is an NFL icon. Also, without him Cincinnati may not even have an NFL team for us to root for.   There is something to be said for tradition and respecting that.  In my opinion some things should not be sold to the highest bidder.  Plus those big multi million naming rights are spread out over many years.  So it isn't like it is 100 million a year.  More like a few million a year over the life of the agreement.  From what I looked up NFL revenue sharing was $274.3 million per team last year.  So maybe say 7-8 million or so a year isn't that important to sell out the name.  Who knows?

But that's just my opinion.  Also I think Mike is of the same opinion or he would have sold out a long time ago.  I hope his family feels the same once he is gone.
