    Blazers owner Paul Allen gives $26 million to Washington State University

    Paul Allen, the owner of the Portland Trail Blazers and the co-founder of Microsoft, announced a $26 million donation to Washington State University, the school said Thursday.

    The gift for the university's School for Global Animal Health was approved by the university's Board of Regents on Thursday morning.

    Oh great. Now if Knight is the new owner, we for sure will no longer be the Blazers forum.

    @SlyPokerDog should have been able to see into the future.

    Bad Dog!

    If Paul Allen is spending his money at WSU…. Does Phil Knight want to purchase the Blazers and give PA’s trust more funds to spend on WA schools?

    (As much as I don’t care for WA universities, this was a sarcastic post. Feel a strong need to clarify for several of you.)
