    Jordan Gross

    Here is a short story on a generous donation by the Gross family.

    http://utah.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=968927

    Kudos to Jordan and the other Utes(Alex/Steve Smith, Andre Miller) who remember where they got started.
    "The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."

    "I like to bike. I could beat Lance Armstrong, only because he couldn't pass me if he was behind me."

      To me he is the poster boy for Utah football. Miller for hoops. What a classy, generous thing to do.

      My ignorance here, but what BYU pros have made similar gifts?

        It's always a competition with you guys, isn't it? I'd be more impressed if the donation had been private (though technically I wouldn't be impressed at all, because I wouldn't know about it).

        There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

          No I assume that BYU players have done the same, just curious to know who.

            FTR, I was being 100% facetious about the competition comment.

              This is the philosophy of former BYU players:

              "When I retire, I don't want to just move to some island somewhere. I want to be the guy who gives it all back. I want it to be like, 'Hey... who donated that hospital wing that's saving so many lives?' 'I don't know. It was anonymous.' 'Well, guess what. It was Michael Scott.' 'But how do you know? It was anonymous.' [pause] 'Because I'm him.'"

                After giving 10%, they can't afford to give any more.

                    I especially like that they're donating scholarships. Kudos to these guys.

                          I realized I missed Bogut when I reread the article after posting
