Generous Gift From ND Alumnus

[ShawneeIrish]

An anonymous Notre Dame alumnus has provided the University with a donation that has allowed all student tickets to the BCS National Championship to be offered at half-price! How awesome is that? Here is hoping I am one of the 2,500 student lottery winners!

That's an awesome gift to the students. Whoever gave it is incredibly generous.

 

[greyhammer90]

WOW. That guy is rich, and happy.

 

[HereComeTheIrish]

hah.... ND pockets run deep. Hope students take advantage. This doesn't happen every day.

ND has a lot of those. It isn't like they had to expand the airport in South Bend to accommodate all size and number of private jets for home football games or anything..

Who wants to be (a millionaire) at the NC game?

 

[JoeyGetherall]

Reg?

 

[CTIDANDREW]

Mike Golic. Guy has been unbelievably happy lately. Just my guess.

Since the SC game, I have cursed my parents for not having me 3 yrs later so I could be a student at this time...Definitely a generous donation!! I would kill to e a student right now!

Now we need some other alums to start throwing some money Diaco's way.

 

[A Pac]

You're welcome.

 

[In Lou I Trust]

I'm quite disappointed that Pham hasn't started a raffle here on IE for a free ticket. Weak sauce, Jason.

The connection this alum must feel with his/her university is awesome. These current students are awfully fortunate to get this gift.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Didn't even blink when I wrote the check.


Seriously though, that is awesome.



But really, it was me.

 

[koonja]

I bet it was Regis. But my darkhorse guesses are OMM and Charlie Weis.

 

[PraetorianND]

It would be cool if another alum or group of alums picked up the rest of the tab.

Not that this isn't already way above and beyond the call of duty.

My senior year was the 2007 season. How do you think I feel?

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

It was probably the Eck family or someone like that, not a famous person.

 

[Kak7304]

It was probably the Eck family or someone like that, not a famous person.

I agree.

 

[OrlaNDomer]

Whoever it was deserves to be recognized, even if its just a letters from students and the like.

Dan Hesse the Sprint CEO .

 

[ALLGATOR]

I have worked with a few ND Alumni very giving people.

whoever did it requested anonymity.

There's a currently 2 social media campaigns going on among students... It'll be interesting to see whether we flood the interwebs more with thanks for this amazing gift or with anger that the girls across the street were let in on the lottery... Here's hoping the thank you's win out. much classier.

 

[ShawneeIrish]

I am terrible at math but I did a quick calculation and I believe that if every ND and St. Marys student enters the lottery then the odds are 15% of being selected for a ticket. Obviously not EVERY student will enter so while getting tickets is not exactly likely, the odds should not be as bad as I initially anticipated.

Is that seriously why they did that...

 

[NDGirlzRock]

Is that seriously why they did that...

Yeah living in SB trust me that's why......"Build it and they will come!" Now with the new terminal, we have Frontier airlines flying in now.....which is pretty big in my opinion!!!

He's busy working on a media pass.
