    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is giving $2 million to his alma mater, Purdue University, for a student-athlete academics center.

    The Drew and Brittany Brees Student-Athlete Academic Center will fill 11,000 square feet in the Intercollegiate Athletic Facility next to Mackey Arena. The academic center in that facility now occupies 6,500 square feet.

    The Brees Center is part of Mackey Arena's renovation project scheduled for completion in 2011.</div>Link</p>

    Wait a minute, Drew Brees owes me twenty bucks for ruining one of my fantasy football teams this year!!! Seriously, it's cool that he's giving back to his school. He's cementing his place as the 2nd greatest QB to come out of Purdue and, face it, becoming the greatest just isn't realistic.</p>
