Someone there had set up a message board and left it unmonitored, so naturally had filled up with pharma/porn spam links, and the bots were spamming me with referrals to it. I contacted the IT department at the university and they have taken the site down. I started getting spam hits with referrals to a university site.

But definitely a business name. You have to remember that this is someone who isn't a part of the SEO/spamming world, so you can basically forget the usual questions. It's not about a directly money making site. I don’t know if it was actually trademarked. But definitely a business name.

If you check the domain after-market sites you will see much higher prices being asked, and being actually paid, for good domains. “Domain shark”? or just someone who collects good domain names in order to sell them at a higher market price later on? $50′000 is not over the top, for a good domain name.
