Between the child pornography allegations and the namesake health care organization being combined with Intermountain Health, the Sanford gravy train, from both the man and the health-system, is over.Quote:

The hospitality plaza on the stadium's west side and the scholarship were named to honor the community, and the plaza designed to "... celebrate the history, presence, and cultural contributions of all eleven Native American tribes in Minnesota".[82][83][84] The University received an additional $2 million from the SMSC for construction of the plaza in 2009.[85]
Oh man how bad would it forever piss off UN_ rubes if NDSU got something like this from the Native American tribes of ND. Just the thought of it makes me smile.Quote:
