Richt to donate a million dollars to construction of Miami indoor practice facil

We didn't need him to donate, but one of his first orders of business before his first season is to make that happen?

Ok? Good for Richt.

I see nothing wrong here. It's his money, let him do what he wants with it.

It's his money and his alma mater. Good on him.

It's actually probably our money that we still owe

It's called job security. On a number of levels.

Very smart investment strategy on his part. It will also guarantee he'll have a building named after him at his alma mater. Again, smart.

It's nice to see CMR motivated. I'm glad that he's finally been able to attain a position where he is allowed to be a hands on football coach and play a proactive role in getting an IPF.

I guess to a point I can understand OP being upset if the thought is Richt didn't give to UGA as he did/will give to Miami. There's nothing illegal or improper about it but it's that kind of the second wife gets better treatment than the first wife kind of thing. All things being equal (and I have no idea whatsoever whether they are/were) it's just a not being very nice kind of thing.

Outside of that it is his money to do with how he pleases. If I've earned money I want to be able to decide how to spend it. I don't know anything about his financial portfolio but do we even know that the money to be gifted is money he earned from the University? It may come from another source; wouldn't matter either way of course since it was money he earned.

And I agree on the investment thing that's been mentioned in that it really may be more than just a simple gift. If he plans on being at his alma mater for awhile in a coaching capacity or otherwise he could definitely benefit from such a kind gesture, financially or otherwise. It's not uncommon to see people entrenched in communities make generous gifts to the community--in the longer run it benefits the donor, the recipient and many others whether the donor receives a direct financial benefit or not. There's nothing wrong with that and that's just good stewardship for those who can afford it.

That's certainly true more than anything. Whether it's an old wife, old coach or whatever you have to put them in the past and look to what is hopefully a brighter future with the new folks. Wish the old ones well and move on.

The point wasn't about the money. It was about doing something as one of the first orders of business in Miami that he failed to do here in fifteen years. It took Pruitt to come in and raise hell to get the wheels moving.
