Michiganball Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Has anyone heard of any single college donation larger then this?

exswoo Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Bloomberg donated $315M to Johns Hopkins a year or so back, that's the single biggest donation. If you add up multiple donations over time from the same people there are a few with larger sums than Ross's $300M but it's definitely in the Top 10 - possibly Top 5. Quote Link to comment
Michiganball Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Crazy, though schools like these are not exactly the most in need. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I know this may go against the gist of a college football board but I am a lot more impressed when donations like this go towards academics than athletics. Let's just say the Bloomberg $315M donation to Johns Hopkins will do more good than the T Boone Pickens $300M to Okie State so they can bring their football program up to mid level range.

WoodyHayes1951 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I know Les Wexner has donated 200Mil(over a larger period of time). Now everything at OSU has his name on it. Quote Link to comment

Omaha-Husker Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Warren buffett donated 170 million to the new cancer center That isn't the case. It was Buffett's cousin's wife that is the main donor. Quote Link to comment
