During undergrad my friend worked for telefund, he told me that one time a guy pledged a donation, but only if they named something after him. The guy donated like $50 or something and they named the stapler in their office after him lol

I find this more interesting and entertaining than the content of this thread.
September 15th, 2020 at 8:18 AM ^
Shame on you for giving me this idea
September 14th, 2020 at 7:14 PM ^
This is the most fascinating thing I have learned in at least the last 4 or 5 minutes...
September 14th, 2020 at 9:52 PM ^
At least we can say Michigan coaches are well-endowed

Breaking news via Twitter:
"BREAKING: The Wilpon family has signed an agreement to sell the Mets to billionaire Steve Cohen. The sale is now subject to MLB approval. “I am excited to have reached an agreement with the Wilpon and Katz families to purchase the New York Mets,” Cohen said in a statement."
That means Wilpon is now sitting on a huge pot of money, and can part with some of it to help U-M offset the financial fallout of COVID-19.

If he offers, Michigan should turn it down and call Irving Picard.
September 14th, 2020 at 10:45 PM ^
The last thing anyone should do is be further associated with the Wilpons than they already are.. They're the kiss of death.

WD, did this info get to you via press release or do you just scour athletics website looking for any changes?
September 14th, 2020 at 7:37 PM ^
That’s what I’m curious about. Does he check these often to see if/when it changes? Who has got the time for—oh wait....I answered my own question

Found it doing SuperGuide maintenance trying to change all the seasons to 2020-21 format instead of 2020 year format just in case we play in the winter or spring like heavily discussed.
September 14th, 2020 at 11:17 PM ^
"maintenance"
September 15th, 2020 at 12:46 AM ^
Hey, just like a kleptocracy or a successful crime syndicate, the Superguide doesn't maintain itself.

They say you should have a rainy day fund. Screw that. I'm saving so I can add my name to a coach. GoBlueGoWings presents Mark Rosen Head Volleyball Coach
If people want to send their money like this, good for them.

A math professor I know had retired early 2000s and his four children at the retirement ceremony had gifted 750k to the university and established professorships in both the parents' name, one for a math professor in the father's name and one for a liberal arts teacher in the mother's name, who is a poet.
I thought that was very cool. Not a bad way to leave a mark at a school.

Scholarships are great. Glomming onto a coach's title is laughable.
September 15th, 2020 at 10:12 AM ^
It is unusual to give a coach a "named title," like a professor's named chair (The Tunneler Professor of Advanced Mopery Science). And encountering unusual things, we humans have a tendency to either fear or laugh.
But what's laughable about the University offering enticements to donors to give money? Enticements that cost the University nothing.
September 14th, 2020 at 8:09 PM ^
Glad to see so many well endowed individuals.
September 14th, 2020 at 8:09 PM ^
How much money would I need to drop to ha e the Kevin13 title attached to a coach?
September 14th, 2020 at 10:43 PM ^
Costs the same as a ZJ

The fact that people donate a boatload of money for this crap is gross.
September 14th, 2020 at 9:45 PM ^
This opinion is so weird. Why do you care what people do with their money?
September 15th, 2020 at 9:57 AM ^
Also, what's gross about the University getting donations? It's not like they're getting money and then using half of it to pay for a yacht for the donor.
September 14th, 2020 at 9:29 PM ^
Good. More money supporting the University.

Why can't a cool donor make a name for something that isn't their own? Here's $250 grand to move the student section at Yost back behind the opponents' bench and call it the Molly McGannon Memorial Schoolhouse?
