Wow......WSU alums need to step up their donation game. Insane donation to Kansas College

[Flatlandcoug]

So, I was reading my local news today and saw that McPherson college is being offered a 2:1 donation gift from an anonymous donor up to $500 million. They currently have $130 million in commitments so their current payday is $390 million and if they can get to $250 million by June of next year, the donor has committed to matching with $500 million for a total of $750 million into their endowment. I don't even have the ability to comprehend that. We need some super rich WSU alums to step up their game.

When was the last time you were asked for money from WSU that wasn't athletics? I literally can't remember when.

I normally get calls from the engineering college every year. That said, it might be a couple years since they've called.

At least 1/2 dozen times a year. if you donate they don't leave you alone.

I get hit up for money by WSU pretty often, from the AD and otherwise.

Pretty much everyone has their hand out these days.
