BIG NEWS regarding IPF

  • dlarrison said...

    I don't know the connection. However, he has previously donated large sums to FSU. I'm sure he'll get the building named after him. You would likely be surprised that some big donors (benefactors) do not have an established connections to the university.

    Aren't the practice fields named after him?

  • That's dirty money, but it'll still build an IPF. But which is accurate, the $5-mil or $10-mil donation?

  • Im probably the only NOLE fan in America who thinks this is a waste of money and would rather have had the cash go to fully funding 13 Athletic Scholarships.... But hey, This is Jimbo's baby so maybe we give him a IPF and he gives us a MNC.... I'll take it!

  • Maybe they keep the Dunlap name off of this one...

    The Dunlap Student Success Center is named after him.

    He gave FSU $10 million for the Student Success Center. Now $5 million for IPF.

    Behind DeVoe Moore, I believe he is FSU's 2nd biggest donor. As long as he doesn't try to influence FSU's policies, I'll be happy that he has given so much to the University and Athletic Department.

    Nope.

  • Amazing.

    Maybe everybody bagging the guy who just donated $5MM to fund our IPF can just STFU. Unless, of course, they are willing to pony up that kind of dough themselves. In that case, complain away.

    You're right I heard a guy named Shapiro would pony up the rest. I think he runs a business making prison uniforms.

    You're not the only one. I agree with you 10000% but try getting someone to pony up the money to have scholarships named after them. It just doesn't have the same wow factor as building names.

    Are you really comparing the two? That's a joke, and you know it.

    I just can't fathom people claiming it's dirty money, or that he's a bad CEO, blah blah blah.

    In my humble opinion, whatever your thoughts on the matter, this is clean money and this man just stroked a check giving more to this football team than the contributions of every poster in this thread combined (including me x1000). So, if you don't personally care for the man funding your obsession, maybe just bite your lip (hide your keyboard) and be appreciative of the help.

    No doubt...and this building will look like a billboard....building, playing surface, the balconies...etc... HOWEVER>...I dont have a problem with that.... People who donate large sums of money and want their names associated with the project should get that...I would certainly rather someone give money to FSU...even a project I don't support rather than somewhere else including just sitting in their bank account....

    and dont sell yourself short.....

    Introducing the Healthguyfsu Endowed scholarship for the noseguard "pig" position in hopes of a sound education and long term good eating habits....

    It will just cost you about $515k!

    I would prefer the dorms to be built first, but I am pretty pumped about the opportunities that come with the IPF.

    It was definitely a joke and I don't consider the two the same.

    However, I was just pointing out that fans and the admin have a right to question a source of money lest we end up like da U

    Where is the student success center? Also, I could have sworn our practice fields garnered his name. Am I wrong?

    The Student Success Center is the 2 new buildings next to the Student Life Building, facing the Woodward Mall.

    Not sure about the practice fields, but they might be named after DeVoe Moore, he's given a ton to the University.
