Wish I could donate $70 million to my alma mater.

Shoot, compared to the $165 million T. Boone Pickens gave to Oklahoma State University's athletic department, this isn't too much.

Then again, I'd like for Frank Batten Sr. to tell that writer who was with the News & Record in Greensboro that he couldn't afford to pay her when she was with the publications for mere days before being cut loose.

 

Damn, I thought this thread was about T. Boone Pickens, until I saw Sam's thread above.

T. Boone University still has an underachieving football program, regardless if a 40-YEAR OLD MAN is coaching them.

 

If pay off my student loans before I die, I might celebrate by sending a $20 check to dear old Chowderhead U. to put in the scholarship fund. And that would be that.

 

I wish I could give $70 million to my college. I wouldn't do it, but it'd be nice to have the option.

 

That Pickens story is a must-see on HBO Real Sports.

Even if you have to put up with Bryant Gumbel's righteous indignation bullshit at the end.
