He still owes his alma mater $49,000 on a $100,000 scholarship pledge from ten years ago, despite making $1 million+ as NCAA president. Hasn't made a payment since taking the NCAA job in 2010: http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/eye-on-college...

Setting a really fine example there.

I wonder how often that happens. Big commitment... big announcement... accolades... names on permanent signs... and crickets when checks come due.

Not much to be gained by calling them out and college athletics has a culture of insulating itself.

I would agree that philanthropy is a personal matter. Personal integrity, however, is not, when you are the face of an organization like the NC 2A.

Are you talking about the Beasley Convocation Center? If so, there's more to that story than you probably know. If you want the details, PM me.

Hmm . . . OK, give me a hint. Is it athletic oriented, or just a general university facility?

Athletic and I sent you a PM. It's really not that hard, we only have two buildings named after a donation, and one just opened.
