I dont have a problem with it. He doesnt even share w/ his family. If they arent fans and dont care about football/sports then I dont see a reason for them to donate. In all honesty, there are much better things to do w/ your money. Me on the other hand, My name would be all over the facilities.
I once post this in similar thread and I'm not sure whether anyone ever reached to him.

Not to derail the thread, but Buffet does share money with his family. He pays for all of their education, and I'm sure he would take care of them if they ran into tough situations. But he does not setup a trust fund for any of his family which is unusual for people of his wealth.
Also, I don't think you can criticize Buffet for being a philanthropist and not donating to an athletic department. Donating to an athletic department is not exactly the most charitable contribution even if you can write it off on your taxes.
Wow poor dude, no matter what vast fortunes he amasses he'll have to admit he went to Nebraska. I guess you can feel sorry for a billionaire.
No doubt. Originally the deal was valued a year or so earlier at close to 3 billion. I am not sure if the deal was ever completed or not. 1.3 billion is a nice chunk of change.
I was never criticizing him for not donating to UNL, but merely pointing out the fact that those with supreme power with money don't necessaraly care about donating to their alma mater's athletic department.
I just want to let everyone know that if I have the good fortune to become one of our billionaire alums, athletics donations to ISU will be on the top of my list. Screw world hunger and curing diseases, we're putting Jerry World to shame.
He originally went to Columbia and finished up his last year at UNL. I agree though and he should be ashamed of himself.
The reason I started this thread is im planning to do an oceans 11 type deal. You can either donate half of your money to ISU or im going to steal it all. Your choice.
You know, the poster who mentioned tuition.....got me thinking...some of you students should get on GSB. Similar to things like Lied Rec, the Health Center, etc, student fees have been used to pay for capitol projects.
Now, as JP said on KXNO, the SEZ would have to be more than just seats...if it were seen as a true entry to campus, I think GSB could used to support it. There could be a welcome center in there used for non-game days, etc.
Think about it. $5 a semester, per student, for say 15 years really would add up.
Adding a Cy's Locker Room into this would be good too. It seems to work at other schools, IIRC Wisconsin has Bucky's Locker Room at field level and can even see the field from inside the store.
Yeah, i saw similar at Florida State, theyve got a big shop/welcome center that leads right into the stadium.

yeah, cause we're already paying >$200 bucks a semester to fund the rec renovations (comes to >$300 total for rec fees)
