3.5 billion for Vandy? Damn.

Yeah, I had to look at that one twice because I didn't believe it at first. 
I'm guessing that not much of their moneys go to their athletic teams.

Thats a huge gap compared to everyone else.

Wikipedia from the SEC section.

Isn't the goal to be at $750 mil by the end 2010 or something like that?
Posted on 7/14/08 at 12:00 am to Tigerbait46
That would still place us in the middle of the pack

Also, I remember seeing this a year or so ago and we were at $300 something million so our endowment has been growing at a much faster pace than other SEC schools.
And I would have thought UGA would have a much higher endowment considering their rep as being one of the better academic state schools in the south.

I thought the Forever LSU campaign is being used to raise $750 mil, not raise the endowment to 750? Either way, LSU could really use the money.

Hopefully it is to raise an additional 750
But then again, my 50 dollar donations probably don't help all that much.

That would put us second in the SEC. It would also improve perception of LSU as not just a football or party school.

endowments are different than typical fund raising campaigns like forever lsu. endowment money is not spent, it is invested and a portion of the profits are spent and a portion reinvested to continually grow the endowment. i think the forever lsu campaign is different as portions of that are going to places like TAF
