What's impressive to me isn't that they raised the total so fast, it's how people donated. This wasn't a bunch of people donating five bucks -- 142 people gave at that level -- it was a bunch of people giving a lot of money. The school planned to give away 50 three-inch sections of post for $500 donations, but had to increase the amount after initial demand. (They also sold 10 six-inch sections for $1,000.) So that's $45,000 right there. The school listed the value of new goalposts at $11,000 a pop, so the school actually made money off the posts getting brought down

I don't. I believe the first time was back in the 30's or 40's

Left over cash is going to the athletic foundation they said.

I feel like Ole Miss should be fined for celebrating getting in trouble
