WHAT CONTRIBUTIONS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE?

• Athletic programs; Tickets to athletic events

On the plus side, it would've only netted us an extra $2k.

Thanks to Mr. Larson on the most generous gift.

Cargill could easily throw $25 million in but I would be very surprised if they donate much of anything as a company. The CFO is focused on cost cutting left and right by outsourcing IT and having shared services for Hr, accounting, etc, that are located in areas/countries where labor is cheap.

I don't think any of the top executives are alums, the chairman went to North Dakota, CEO went to Amherst, CFO is Dutch, and I think one or two others went to K State, so there isn't much hope as a company since a lot of the senior leadership doesn't have direct ties to the U.

With that being said, there are a lot of wealthy employees who are alums and I do know D Mac is at least a fan and a season ticket holder for basketball, but he's been overheard complaining about writing tuition checks for his kids.

For what he's making through real estate dealings alone, apparently enough to elicit Bernie Madoff services, Sid has done quite well as a businessman.

Excluding what he lost with Bernie Madoff?:confused:
