171 _Tommui–You are indeed correct, once again. For many high net donors, the intent is not paying the entire bldg or initiative, (which they could easily do) rather it to leverage both institutional and alumni support to match their dollars. For instance Phil Knight, just pledged 500 million (yes, thats correct a half billion) to the Oregon Health Science Center, OHSU, for a world class cancer center, predicated on OHSU raising the same amount in the next 3 years. It’s actually a fairly savvy strategy, as it places the responsibility on the institution to also put in its own work, while usually doubling the original amount.

The other paradigm that is used, and well, lets just call it, less evolved, is the one deployed by Boone Pickens. Through a series of planned giving of either money, stock, and land holdings he has given OK State almost 250 million, much of it dedicated to the athletic department. But, upon closer inspection of the deal, while no doubt very generous, it has several key features that exclusively benefit the billionaire. So, aside from the tax and estate planning considerations, (which are profound) he made a stipulation that these assets be managed not by the university, but rather, his own investment of arm on Picken Holdings. Thus, at once, he realizes very advantageous tax positions, (now and into the future) and further, makes both a management fee, and a profit, if the money he donated but manages, is in the black every year……now, that’s playing every angle.

I’m n Hermosa Beach. It’s the next best place to Hawaii.

You’re so right. My husband corrected me about Cole Porter as he’s an Indiana guy. I also love the song Back Hone in Indiana written by Stephen Foster. 🙂

234 – Former UH Athlete

You are certainly a braver man than I if you wager on tonight’s game. 🙂 Too many unknowns. Florida and Arizona St. as faves for me.

Game Day! Gotta take a nap for the 11:00 pm start time local.

Another monster game from Harris Ross? I don’t know how UH will keep his commitment. He been tearing it up so much this season that the less than ethical recruiters will be all over him all the way until signing day. The red carpet and $500 handshakes will be coming for him.

Hope he stays true to UH. Chow is building quite a stable of horses.

Wonder who he’s the start tonight? If TG didn’t practice, and if SS starts, I’m sure he’ll have a very short leash. In other words get ready for some Woosley at some point.
