    Ohio St. to get 100 Million gift from Les Wexner

    Holy Crap.. Owner/President of Limited brands (Les Wexner) plans to donate 100 million to Ohi St. today. 65 million of his own money and 35 million from his company..

    I am not sure if any other university has received such a donation from an Alumni (Maybe the Nike to OU).

    This guy is filthy rich. His compound in New Albany is insane. I used to drive by it and it is massive. He has over 18 houses on his property and all of them are mansions. They are enclosed with a modest fence, but he has armed security and roaming dogs all the time. Even his security detail has a sweet office at the gate..

    I believe his home is the massive one off of White Barn rd off of Kitzmiller Rd.

        "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

            Do you think this will be enough to cover the expense for the 2012 and 2013 recruiting years?

              Possibly. I am not an expert. I suggest we look to USC on that type of thing..
