Wow! This is pretty amazing.

[xu82]

Yeah, I was pretty sure it wasn’t me.

Very kind and generous……….. and should be adequate to get the football program off the ground.

So this is obviously great for the school - but does it also mean they build a cool new something and use it as an excuse to raise tuition?

Does anything ever lead to (significantly) reduced tuition costs?

Curious where did they get their wealth from?

Gee, I guess I don’t have to give Xavier that $50 million dollars I had earmarked as a Christmas present this year….Claxton Fruitcakes for everybody! Even if you don’t eat them, they make attractive doorstops that add a nice final touch to everybody’s Christmas decorations.

If I hit the Powerball tonight, I'll also give Xavier.....an amount of money that will not exceed $50 million.

Well, a friend told me that we had to try a fruitcake from Gethsemani Farms outside of Louisville. It just showed up today. So, please allow me to save you a little money - - you can strike us off your list.

True but if you eat it and like it, you still will need that special holiday doorstop.

Welp.
A few years ago on here I postulated that some Fat Cat would have to throw in big to have Football come back! I was off by a letter.
Welcome FATH Cat!!!

That gift is bigger than the original cost of the Cintas Center. Reps to the Fath Family!

Damn. They gave 50 mill to St X, ND and Mercy Ships.

I graduated from St.X and twice from Xavier with six siblings being ND graduates. Sounds like it’s time for me to self-identify as a non-profit….
