One man's take on the historic Ross gift to U of M

Oh HamNo, why are you so angry? That said, I have never really been under the impression that the Ross School or the Athletic Department have been want for cash. I mean, it's definitely nice that Stephen M. Ross donated the $200 million to Michigan. Still, wouldn't it be nice to see the same amount of money going to fund scholarships for under-represented students, lower tuition, or even just to the endowment?

  1. A general donation would be nice, but I guess it's his money.

    Also, Florida just reject a big bill to renovate the privately owned Sun Life Stadium owned by Ross (where his Miami Dolphins play). http://www.forbes.com/sites/darrenheitner/2013/05/05/miami-dolphins-stuck-without-stadium-renovations-despite-support-in-tallahassee/ I think he was asking for the ballpark of $200m.

  3. I'm with HamNo. Ross might as well have set the $ on fire.
