i will donate $200,000 directly to your cross country and track program if you can prove that you coach at a university. link to your program's website showing that you are the coach and an adjunct professor and i'll contact the finance department for wire instructions today.
And I'll match his offer.
I would have to speak to the boards of regents regarding your donation. Although we are not the most heavily endowment (money circulation of wealth) university in teXXXas, we are also not disparate for donations . We are not in jeopardy of having to cut the T&F programs. That's not saying we wouldnt accept your donation.
The problem could come with tax issues with the IRS regarding the donation. Also, I was heavily lectured by the college higher-ups when took this job. We cannot accept monetary bribes in order to allow your son or daughter onto the team or into the university.
On a final note, you should go rent the movie "mr Hollands opus" starring richard dreyfuss. I was a tad bit younger when it came out and hated it. It goes into explicit detail regarding the elimination of certain subjects and extra curricular activities due to lack of economic funds within the institution. The movie also gives a similar account to the close relationships that i have with my athletes, and more recently my students as I am now an adjunct professor.
I hate to say this, but it's probably the greatest movie ever made. Most of our financial donors are doctors, lawyers, politicians, and alumni who went on to become successful and wanted to give back to their alma mater, our great university here in San Antonio.
