... and this is after taxes  8)

How much would you donate(not thinking about tax benefits-let's keep it simple) to USF ?

Would you split it up over different departments?

Go BULLS !!!

P.S. Just having more off-season fun.

1 million to dontate to only USF?  If that's the case, I think I would throw it all to athletics, or half into atletics and the other half to the renovation of Cooper.  Our research and medical programs get all kinds of donations and our arts and sciences programs are suffering for it. Cooper Hall is terrible and the only thing worse was the performing arts building which finally got approved to have a nre building.  Half would go to athletics because I really think that we are not getting the donations and support that a team of our level is getting yet.  Plus think of the seats I could get with 500,000 dollars!!!!!!!!

I would donate some to Athletics of course, I would also start a scholarship (if the family's gave the blessing) for a fallen Bull and friend of mine.  If you want to know more of the story, click here:  http://www.fhp.state.fl.us/memorial/Crooks.htm

Funny...my buddies and I were talking about this a few weeks ago.  If we won one of those mega lotteries...200 million or so, what would we do.  And I said I would donate $150million to USF for the sole purpose of building new stadiums.  Atleast $125m for an OCS football that could rival anything...and the other $25m to build new softball, baseball, and track stadiums.  The sundome would be fine w/ renovations...

But w/ $1million, i'd donate 75%...expect some amazing season tickets for life...buy a nice boat and name it Rocky w/ some of it...and invest the rest.

Pay bills first, then after that, I would donate at least 250,000 to the athletic department. And figure the rest would probably go there eventually in tickets, merchandise, etc.

Sorry ET, 1 million isn't that much really when you have a big family and such.  I'm sure I'd donate some but not huge amounts.  Now if it were mega millions, then USF would see a big chunk without question.

1 million in gold matey? I would probably donate $10,000 or so into athletics, then put about $800,000 into my ship. The rest would be on rum and pleasant company.
