Lebatard just pledged a million too !!!

[Canesfan1899]

Didn't Alonzo start a grass roots movement last year for this as well, wonder if raised any money.

Here is a link to the Marcus Lemonis interview on 790 The Ticket this morning (must click on Menu, then More Episodes, then look for Marcus Lemonis interview, a 13:15 long audio). The guy is a legit and very wealthy businessman. A lifelong Canes fan. Here is a link to the original Twitter video he posted at the game Saturday. It's "only" been viewed 501,000+ times since Saturday.

It is a good thing the school has no organized plan or anything to do something.

They don't need to have one. They are a non-profit so you can actually control the use of the funds. If Lemonis wants, he can get it started and say here is $1 million but it is restricted to be used only to build a stadium. Just like that UM has to leave the funds untouched until it fulfills the restriction. Most non-profits take the principal amount and invest it and use the interest income to do other things. Lemonis could also restrict that to be used on the stadium. The school can easily be pushed into doing it.

WTF are you talking about? This has nothing to do with what I posted.

He was joking. He was calling out Lemonis for being disingenuous and doing this for publicity. They were talking about how that guy has been begging to get on 790 all weekend.

Said guy is only pledging a mill because he wont actually have to pay since the move wont happen so in that case DLB said he would pledge too (to make a point that that guy is full of ****)

Thanks for the clarification.

I read your post as a shot at the school for not actively fundraising, was that interpretation wrong?

My post was basically saying that the school doesn't need a plan. We can put the pressure on them ourselves through restricted donations. That's all

It was a shot at the school for not having any plan in place for our own stadium.

If you want to have a mass fundraising effort, the school will need to lead and set something up. The fans/alum can't just restrict donations for the cause.

You're not reading thoroughly. I understand WE can restrict the donations but the school will SHOULD be leading and organizing.

 

[HurricaneU]

I just find myself wondering how Lebatard has $1 mil to pledge

 

[pcitycane]

I got 5 on it.

Yes that I agree on. We're on the same team here dude.

 

[JayCane20]

He doesn't. He's just making a point it isn't happening

 

[orange&green84]

He works for ESPN as a TV personality and has a radio show under their umbrella. He probably rakes in 7-figures a year on his ESPN contract.

Please. Those guys don't make 7 figures.

 

[TheU1984]

We shall call it Stugotz field.

 

[FullyERicht]

sad there hasn't been a fundraising movement for the last 20years by UM for this.

Shalala forbid it. Didnt think it was fair to direct fundraising initiatives towards one specific element of the school.

This guy, who we know has the $ means, begs to get on the radio to get this some momentum and Lebatard doesn't give him the stage to do so??? Whatta useless sack of lard

 

[RocketsandCanes]

we're up to 2 million


WE BACK!

only 198 million more

anyone else with spare change .... some of you junk bond kings

You think it really would cost 200 mil to rent time in a stadium that's already being built? I have no ideas on the cost but have a hard time thinking it would be that much.
