He should have taken 3.1 million and paid off student loans for a bunch of those kids instead.

Nikka just donated more than his lifetime earnings to date

Well, MSU's endowment fund is over $2B so he isn't wrong. But I'm certainly not gonna hate on the guy for donating $3.1M to his alma mater. I just hope he manages his money well.

Gonna be the first ***** to go broke from charitable donations

Didnt say she was wrong on that one, but how can you hate on someone for making a huge donation towards education :facepalm

Let's hope it goes to education and not to a new gym facility, jumbo-tron, or something they don't really need.

OP, try to educate yourself on traveling miles for teams and their locations first.. maybe you'll understand how those are formed, some day.

[L8krH8tr]

I wonder how much Magic Johnson has donated.. He is the official Spartan king at all the final fours and stuff. Tom Izzo is a beast by the way.

If I'm donating that kind of money, the university better give me a lifetime opportunity to be on their payroll when I retire as a player. :lol

5 years as their Director of Athletics can recoup that $3.1 million easily.

[midatlantic09]

He realize that half his contract is going to taxes and agent fees? $3.1 million is a lot for someone not worth $100+ million. However, it is a tax writeoff so it's not too bad.

its not about money its about status

[midatlantic09]

I'm very surprised this is the largest donation in school history given that BILLIONAIRES have graduated from MSU (Eli Broad and Tom Gores to name a few). You'd think that a billionaire would donate $20 million or something.

OP, are you sure this is the largest donation in school history? Seems awfully low given some of MSU's alumni.

This. If he'd have kept that 3.1 million he would have lost half of it to taxes anyway. So he's only losing about 1.5 million more than if hed donated nothing at all.

Nope, as I suspected, it's not even close to being the largest donation in school history.

OP is a troll.

Best part is that Draymond did this as a PR move. I doubt Eli Broad got any press about donating the $25 million. The guy is literally doing it because he's grateful.

Did you ****ing read the article?

So what? How is this donation a bad thing? Conditioning is a major part of the success of athletes. You must be on your period or something

[TripleA]

He could of gave the money to his hometown of Saginaw, Michigan.
Lol they probably would of wasted that money anyway.
Its like a top 5 worst city in the country. I sorta understand why he is so loud and angry living in that place.

Nice switching goalposts. I like how you flamed Lebron for his donations for students to go to college but this is okay.

You have some major misconceptions about life, so lets get it straight, anything Bran does is bad, mkay? And btw athletics is a part of education.

Oh okay you're just a ****ing idiot. Back to ignoring you

[stalkerforlife]

That's great of him.

But is MSU hurting for money? Surely that money could have helped someone in much greater need.

Eli is such a cool guy, i worked at a research lab over at USC that was made with his money, thing cost 80M

[DukeDelonte13]

3.1 million to an institution that will never be hurting for money.

I guess its better than blowing it on jewelry or cars.

[FreezingTsmoove]

Screw paying off someones loan. They knew what they were getting into

[fiddy]

Jeff, not cool
