If this guy took $300,000,000 cash, piled it up in his backyard, doused it with gasoline and set it on fire it would be....
his choice.

Because it is his money.

Better off funding a Super Pac to elect people to do your bidding. He could probably get the university funded for a fraction of the cost, and own some legislators to carry more of his water in the future.

So you’re here to get a rise out of people? And every comment thrusts in just that little hint of sarcasm. Was there nothing on The Hallmark channel for you to watch tonight?

Think both can be true.

His money and he can do what he wants with it and it’s also crazy the dollars going into athletics as for context, that dollar amount would take the median American earner 150 lifetimes to make (it’s reported median is around 1.3-1.7mil based US Bureau of labor data).

Personally better he did “something” with it rather than holes it way imo. Will have some good economic stimulus in their community
