Wish someone would give 50 million bucks LOL, I'd be feeling pretty darn good about myself

 

[VolTSX23]

I wish I had enough money to be able to give $50 million away. That is crazy

$50 million to the school? Awesome! Any speculation on who it was?

It was an anonymous gift. The largest gift from anyone. Direct quote from the article on the website:
"The donors have notified UT President Dr. John Petersen that half the gift is to be targeted to specific initiatives in Veterinary Medicine and the College of Engineering, while the other half is to be designated for intercollegiate athletics, including the historic Neyland Stadium renovations.

UT has reaped more than $400 Million in the past 18 months.

How many sets can 10-20MM buy?

I saw the article on the donation, but didn't see the designation to the Athletic Department.

Hope they take Neyland to 115,000 +

So we can reclaim the largest college stadium.

 

[VolTSX23]

I would love to see that but I do not think that is going to happen. Right now they are taken seats away during renovations and changes to the stadium

 

[vol_in_ar]

Agreed on the previous renovations, but that's a lot of cash, and you should be able to add seating capacity, and not just more high rent luxury suites.
