Nope.

Which will be more of a logistical issue than a cost issue.

Sure there will be extra costs, but surely not $2 million, the benefits of a partnership with the University of Akron, and the benefits all of the extra services that will he provided because people want to volunteer or work with Lebron’s program.

It's not a new facility and people have told you that multiple times.

Bus wise, these are still the same kids and busses. They just go to a different place.

Its a public school. No one tried to hide this.

Also the Scholarships for all the kids who graduate from there will be paid for by the University of Akron.



This is new news to me, but I guessed they'd cover at least part of it.

He still put up millions to build the school and the school will do some incredible stuff. They focus on the entire family, which is really cool. They help parents with GEDs and job placement, etc.

Its gotta be weird to be so upset about something like this.

Yeah. I would much rather have the $5,000 to he taxes that I put in my son’s dependent care account than to “write it off.”

Literally in the middle of the entrance where Lebron posed for photos, there is a huge sign that says "Akron Public Schools".

It’s new because Travis is conflating a scholarship GUARANTEE with scholarship PAYMENT.

I don't think people are mad at this. They're mad at LeBron and are just grasping for some way to turn this into something they can rip him for.

Lebron can't afford to pay for the whole school because he has to pay for pressure washers to keep the fake racist graffiti off his gate.

I see the cesspool filled up and is spilling over into the MSB. That’s too bad.

Come on. We all know what is happening here. A partisan hack overestimated the crossover of Lebron haters and PT board nutjobs.

OP is used to flinging red meat and getting 30 upvotes without more than a sentence read. Nice to see cooler heads prevailing over here.

Above the line deductions vs below the line deductions

Deductions vs credits

Two things people should understand much better than they do.
