Should I attach 14 links to the OP? I got all #'s from each school's Wikipedia page.

LSU TAF.. LSU TAF had to get approval from us to give our info to the LSU Foundation so they know who donates and who have $$$$$

LSU folks put A LOT into their facilities and athletic Dept. And built a damn Habitat over 1-2 mil for Mike's Cage.

Their endowment probably wasn't just handed to them by the government imho. They are probably still doing it the hard way- relying on contributions from alumni

We fought tooth and nail for our endowment, and we were only able to wrangle 1/3 away from the greedy sips. But that 1/3 is enough to keep our hair slick with oil for a long time.

How dare we use our vast natural resources to better the states' two largest public institutions! No fair!

What doesn't surprise me is how little SEC folks really know about A&M. All my family is SEC, and it took us joining and years of my explaining how we were not a little farm school.

Obama and the DHHS just threw us a billion dollar grant(5 years) for biosecurity this last year that has the potential to last for 25 years.

A&M has long been considered the best kept secret in Texas. A sleeping giant.

I think it is safe to say we've awoken.

So how long before TAMU files bankruptcy like the rest of the companies Obama gave money to.


How does a school file for bankruptcy for receiving a research grant?
