I would love to be a fly on the wall when this guy asked for that in exchange for his donation

Aren't several head coaching jobs "endowed" like that now?  Like professor positions?

That's definitely not the first one

That’s new to me but apparently not new.  I’ll give WVU a couple hundred bucks if they want to name a GA position or Gatorade bucket or something after me.

I think MSU's fund flat out says what it costs to enodw various coaching positions.  A nice flex would be for Tom Izzo to endorse his own job
