Stephen Ross on Bloomberg TV right now

Submitted by oriental andrew on
Talking about Michigan right now and the $200M gift. Says Michigan is one of the unique and premier institutions combining top academics and top athletics. Also, they had his assistant call his phone and the ring tone is - you guessed it - The Victors. Also talked a bit about why donating money to a school and academic department are different from giving more money to the Dolphins to renovate their stadium. He is a great representative of the University of Michigan. GO BLUE!

Wondering how much SMRoss will ultimately donate to the University...and if it will be "University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, presented by Stephen M. Ross".  He took that billionaire pledge to donate 1/2 of his estimated net worth (5 billion) by the time he leaves this world...

I am not sure if it was posted in the other thread, and it if it was, apologies for the redundancy. Here is the university's official statement detailing the gift and some of the proposals attached to it - LINK

Ross is quoted, of course: "The University of Michigan had a profound impact on my life and I have received enormous satisfaction from being able to give back to the institution that played such a critical role in my success."

Can't start new topic on my phone for whatever reason, but Hoke is on the Dan Patrick show right now.

Highlight for me was when Dan asked Coach "if Johnny Manziel was your QB..."

Coach replied "he would be behind Devin Gardner right now"
