So glad to see the arts and humanities aren't getting shite. Hopefully this reminds them where they stand. This is coming from a business major, too.

Come on Chase, don't act like you were in engineering at LSU. Everyone knows it took you 7 years to get an undergrad in art.

College scholarships, especially in a field of study that directly benefits the economic livelihood of Louisiana, isn't a good cause?

OR maybe he raised his kids in a manner that would enable them to make their own way.

Besides, with all the budget cuts the school has undergone and continues to, 20M to the engineering school is huge. You're right about TAF though, not sure how bad they're hurting for cash.

Well the article states the TAF contribution is for scholarships as well. So to student-athletes who are on partial or no scholarship for their minor sport due to NCAA restrictions?

None of your business, it's a personal donation and to be done with as the donor pleases.

You get pissed over the stupidest stuff.

Obviously the dude loves Engineering and Sports...

But people on the Rant downplay a donation to TAF.
