After I pay off my debts, and buy an estate in the country around USF then I will be on board with ponying up some money to get an OCS started and get rid of Skip.

I would easily donate $50 million for Skip to be gone + OCS. What are OCS going for nowadays?

Hell, i'd work out a deal with housing to build/fully renovate the andros residence halls in exchange for like 10-20% of their future revenue from the new place.

I'd pay to replace both skip and woolard, and then i'd even donate to pickup a good AD and new coach. Help pay to finish ongoing projects, maybe a new facility or two.

I'd then open up some sort of new grant for left handed individuals who want to go to USF. Call me crazy, but I'm a minority, dammit!

I'd then pay UCiF to keep o'leary and to suck longer. Lol.

^ Correct, the full amount is an annuity paid out in 29 years. No one in their right mind would take this with the impending "fiscal cliff" on the horizon. Best to take the lump sum (roughly $375 million) and brace yourself for taxes. Consevatively you are looking at $225 million after taxes.

From there the following should happen:

$45 million into bonds and other low risk investments

$35 million into aggressive growth stocks/commodities

$25 million into a family trust

That leave $120 million to buy USF a mighty fine fieldhouse as well as indulge in the finer things in life.

I see nothing in there about helping out the in laws ;-)

It's funny how we all see these big lotto numbers and imagine how much we'd donate and help people. There are billionaires right here in tampa, wish one of them would throw USF a bone :(

They don't stay billionaires by giving hand outs. Too many rich people are cheap and selfish.
