The University of Georgia men's basketball program is getting a $10 million boost from the founder of one of the nation's largest daily fantasy sports companies.
Adam Wexler, a Georgia alumnus who founded leading fantasy operator PrizePicks, is donating $10 million to the Bulldogs' basketball program, the school announced Thursday.
It's the largest philanthropic commitment by a single donor in UGA Athletic Association history, according to the school, and will support personnel and operating expenses within the men's basketball program.

Damn.....that can pretty much buy the whole starting lineup.

I don't think that's even close to buying a starting line up anymore.

That would fund 4 year scholarships for 60 or 70 kids.

Good for UGA hoops, hopefully they can make hay of it.

$10 million is the largest gift in Georgia athletics history?

I'm not a basketball fan, but it would be great if they could turn the program around. That money could be a big boost, provided it isn't squandered.

Not many schools have donars who own multibillion dollar......but I am sure all that money has gotten Arky a ton of Basketball and Football National titles.

They aint gonna win anything with Mike White. UGA should be good in basketball. Tons of basketball recruits in a 2 hour radius. The day they fire Mike White and hire a competent coach, a 10 million dollar donation will be scary

They should use it on the buyout.

Look at UGA's basketball record prior to Mike White.

It's a good thing you are a frequent poster here. Your presence disproves everything that incel UGA Alum posts about UGA being a good academic school. Keep posting bud. You help everyone else see how retarded Georgia is

LOL. You don't see UGA folks making the bold proclamations about UGA basketball that you folks make about UT football.
How many straight football wins is it?
