Largest ever Football endowment for CU

Yeah, I don't get why the mods locked the Kelli Brooks thread, but I think this donation is definitely worth its own thread. The Buffzone article even had a line about asking her if she had a soft spot at all for the Rams, and she said, no. It's pretty damn funny considering how much CSU hates CU.
 
Linking a Denver Post article is such a waste of time. Only subscribers can read them. Who subscribes to that rag?

For some comic relief I looked over on sheepnation.

Anything from "It's an estate donation, there won't be college football by the time they get it." to "We just got $38 million from Canvas (for the stadium naming rights) so we don't need it." to "She's not really a CSU alum, she's dead to me now."

If she or anyone had made this or half this donation to them they would be crowing like the last remaining rooster.
 
A CSU grad gives to CU football? Somebody get on this before the RMS. We need shirts, signs, a plane flying a banner above the stadium, etc.

Speaking of! Estate donation, I don’t know ****. So it’s when she dies? That was my assumption before but I’m not rich so I don’t do many estate donations. Or any donations for that matter.
 
The actual donation amount was not revealed publicly, but it is north of $3 million. The donor attended CSU only because her best friends did, but she always loved Buffs football. This is a great thing. There is a lot of money in Boulder and in the past decade they have tended to keep a lot of their brainy tech and engineering graduates local.

Yes, normally it is when the person dies. It can be structured so that portions of it go earlier. It can also be structured to be revocable under certain circumstances (although our CPA friends here would probably remind us of some serious tax consequences for doing so.)

If I am not mistaken (again CPAs) part of the reason for doing an estate donation is that both the principle amount of the donation and any earnings made on that principle prior to the actual donation can be protected from taxation.

Gotcha! Thanks for the insight sir.
 
Just as I’ve always known, when your 18 you’re really stupid and you get smarter with age. I’m almost a genius now.

I saw that exchange. I liked that and “I’m going to boycott her business and so will everyone I know.” Oh and “they’re the worst P5 team there is.” It’s okay, I’d rather be a bad P5 than a bad G5. It’s funny how jealous they are of us.
