GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- University of Florida student-athletes will soon have a world-class learning environment to support and enhance their academic experiences, thanks to a $12.5 million donation from an anonymous donor.
The donation is the largest individual gift ever to UF Athletics. It and an additional $12.5 million of matching gifts will provide $25 million to enhance the program for tutoring, studying, academic advising, job placement and other services for UF’s 480 student-athletes in 21 varsity sports. Housed in Farrior Hall and formerly called the Office of Student Life, the program will now be named the Otis Hawkins Center for Academic and Personal Excellence. Construction is expected to begin in March.

Recruits pay attention to this stuff? IPF coming soon. Just need new athletic dorms.
LOL at FSU...they would have had to steal money from taxpayers to do this like they did with their erector set improvements (metal football stadium with really nice "classroom" facade.

I bet that anonymous donor was Nick Saban. Wanted to see his main man do well at Jorts Land.

You need to revisit this whole anonymous donor notion then.

I'd rather have some down years than protect rapists and drunk drivers. Good to know where you stand though.

The new coach is going to use the Saban blueprint to build the gator program back to respectability.

IPF will be done in June
Athletic dorms are already there, they just needed to be improved. Thats what this donation will more than likely pay for.

FSU is our little brother. We're the flagship and order will be restored soon. Florida is to FSU as Alabama is to Auburn. Yeah Auburn and FSU may win an occasional championship, but everyone knows Florida and Alabama are the flagships
