    Wow, how full of himself is that guy? Hope the University didn't sign any documents that could construe that the money came with strings other than putting his name on the building.

    2 replies I thought it would take at least 6 or 7 before the Nazi lover himself was brought up.

    Typical private equity guy. In his world he does have the money and he does get to call the shots. But obviously he's not understanding the difference between an investment and a donation.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

    Think newest comments go on top so it's been pushed down.

    BTW, he faxed the letter. Seriously?

    did anyone see Bob Knight's comments about this story? Hilarious. Something like, if this guy wants to run an athletic department he should take his money and create his own university. He could call it Ego Tech and then he'd be able to do what he wants with the athletic program.
