Sid: T. Denny Sanford lost interest in contributing to U athletics

[BleedGopher]

per Sid:

• Apparently millionaire T. Denny Sanford lost interest in contributing to the Gophers athletic program when the University of Minnesota administration killed any chance of Sanford’s giant medical group merging with the Fairview Health System. But while Gophers football coach Jerry Kill won’t talk about his relations with Sanford, the word from a good source is that Sanford still has contact with Kill, and if he contributes to the school’s $190 million campaign for athletic practice facilities, it will be only to aid the university football program.

I feel like Sanford has said this for awhile, that he'd donate to football only.

This smelled like pay for play from the start. Thank goodness the state had some sense to block Samford's merger.

Sanford has been talking about contributing big bucks for some time. Jeez, either do it or don't do it.
