Very nice. To put in perspective what his net worth is, someone making $100,000 and giving $450, would have made a larger percentage donation. Those numbers are insane! I don't think he is worried about the extra Luxury Tax he got from trading for Powell and RoCo.
he doesn't "make" a hundred billion. That's his estimated net worth. He might make 1% of that in income each year. That would be only twice the amount he gave with this endowment. So that would be equivalent to somebody making $100,000 and giving away $45,000. Big difference of course, this is almost certainly not a check for 450M. Likely just a complicated structure of initial and future grants and promises, with some conditions
You know what the point was, and I didn't say he was making $101B but that it was his net worth. Good grief. It was to put in perspective the amount versus the net worth. Sometime the gotcha/pick at a point stuff on here gets a bit old.
lol...take a chill pill. I wasn't trying to upstage you I was just pointing out the difference between what somebody is worth and their income. Somebody making a 100K a year can come up with $450 quite easily. Might even have it in their wallet. Certainly in their checking account. Even a multi-billionaire like Balmer is not going to have 450M in their wallet or checking account
it's a sign of the new world order in NCAA sports: https://goducks.com/news/2022/3/3/g...ool-nil-marketplace-in-college-athletics.aspx I have mixed feeling about this, but I'm glad to see the Ducks are at least trying to keep up and innovate
I forgot about it until I read OLive this morning but it's a huge summer for Eugene and the UofO. The T&F world championships are in Eugene in July https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-...orld-championships-looms-is-oregon-ready.html I have yet to see the new Hayward Field. This would not be the event to try and find parking anywhere around there; it will be a circus the biggest issue may be: July can be absolutely gorgeous in the valley. It can also be a nightmare
Coach Altman makes it clear he wasn't happy with the work ethic on this team. Watching his intensity along the sidelines this year, it seemed as if he was hoping he could convey that intensity into the players. He has also said previously that some of the "fellows" had a different idea than him as to how to play. I'm guessing he is hoping that some of these guys will transfer, He does say though that Guerrier was working hard before he got injured and that his three point shot was improving. He talks a lot about getting guys who can make shots, in particular threes. I wonder if he regrets recruiting so many centers. Besides Dante, Kepanga and high recruits (WABC's) Bittle and Johnson, he has another center coming in who was top ten overall. I think Dante might transfer and probably one of Bittle and Johnson, they got no playing time this year. https://247sports.com/college/oregon/Article/Oregon-Ducks-basketball-184939334/ https://duckswire.usatoday.com/list...to-hit-the-reset-button-for-the-oregon-ducks/
Oregon gets a really good one for 2023. Got him over kentucky and Gonzaga. Mookie Cook, 5-star 2023 small forward, commits to Oregon Ducks https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/20...23-small-forward-commits-to-oregon-ducks.html
Josh Conerly 5 star o lineman commits to Oregon over what many thought was a lock to USC. Lanning, further owning Lincoln Riley. His ability to relate to kids is pretty remarkable. Great hire by Mullen’s
a little OT but it's definitely Duck related: a civil trial begins tomorrow in which a pair of former Duck football players are suing Willie Taggart, his one year S&C coach, the UofO, and the NCAA for 100M dollars https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/20...llie-taggart-ncaa-trial-to-start-tuesday.html the genesis was some off-season, 'unsanctioned' workouts the non-certified S&C coach supervised that left at least 3 players in the hospital. They reportedly suffered damage for a condition caused by too-heavy of exercise. I remember reading at the time that the condition caused permanent damage https://www.mensjournal.com/sports/...ized-1-rhabdomyolysis-after-intense-workouts/
The word all along from the Oregon rivals site was that Josh really liked the Ducks but that he also didn't say boo to anyone preferring to keep his cards close to the vest keeping his thoughts private. 247's business model seems to be making predictions to excite fanbases, but as is often the case they've little to go on from the recruit and start a feeding frenzy believing their own speculations as real. When they don't know, they tend to guess for the big market. This is a huge get for Oregon. Though the media has already anointed the Trojans as back, both their lines continue to lack talent and via the recent added class and transfer portal relatively nothing has been added to either since Riley arrived. The past couple years one talented Trojan QB after another has been fed to the lions so good luck to Caleb Williams, he'll need it. On the other hand, Oregon's lines are stacked with highly rated talent. Guessing the media will be shocked by the season results too. STOMP
