Vinik open to med school in downtown Tampa

Vinik is donating the land.  I don't think he'll be receiving any money from the taxpayers

Something everyone is missing here; USF's teaching hoapital is TGH... To keep the medical school away from TGH is foolish..,. FH Tampa just does not have the resources required for Level 1 status...

USF's medical school makes the most sense to move closer to CAMLS and TGH....

Mentioned on the first page of this thread.

Amen. Where does that ************ get off thinking he can just give an acre of land to USF in the middle of downtown for free?!?

Worth it. This is gonna benefit the TB area quite a bit. Downtown Tampa is so **** boring right now.

Either you bring the water to USF or bring USF to the water

Very thankful for Vinik's support!

I agree with smazza. Sure it will be good for med students to be closer to the teaching hospital, less time wasted on commuting. But the big winner is Vinik, who has donated the land (with a tax break given I presume) and in return his lands will be worth a lot more. Billionares do not become billionares by giving things away for nothing.

And colleges don't get to be anything without those same rich guys donating money and land for tax breaks.
