Crazy part is they have just recently started to really win http://www.goducks.com/PhotoAlbum.dbml?PALBID=970348&DB_OEM_ID=500 I love our improvements, but seeing stuff like this makes me realize we are small fries still.

But when they have to deal with schools like USC and UCLA they better have some nice facilities I guess...have to have something to retain the talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't need to operate at a profit with him as a donor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least half billionaires. There are a few corporate big wigs. Eddie Carpenter President of Disneyland and CFO, Walt Disney Attractions George Reyes Chief Financial Officer of Google, and a director of BEA Systems and Symantec, James Atchison CEO of SeaWorld, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Knight has been that guy for Oregon because he has a desire for Oregon to be the best. We don't just need billionaire alumni, we need alumni who want to help USF be the best. It has to happen organically, and won't just happen because our university makes a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
