Is it a good year for private oligarchy (PO), or what? The Kochs and Buffets are highly seeded.

Even ancienne PO like Harvard and Stanford are in it!

BUT the oil-agarchs at SMU and Tulsa and Okie State are going to have to write bigger checks!!!

The big question is when are U Chi and Carnegie-Mellon going to get serious?!!!!!

Go PO, go!!!

Ahem. Just kidding around here. Right?

Seriously, I have no idea if any of these folks mentioned donate any money to the schools involved.

"The Kansas athletic department collected $33 million in such donations."

I'd say we are holding our own when it comes to donations!

So all you KU med students and entrepreneurs... don't forget your alma mater (bountiful mother)!

@drgnslayr

I wonder if any schools, KU for instance, itemize donations by donors for public consumption?

Anyone know?

@jaybate 1.0

Wouldn't think so. First, I think that would kill a big chunk of their endowments. Most of that top tier like to keep quiet concerning their personal affairs. I believe some are asked to "become public" on gifts for certain projects with the hopes it will be some kind of incentive for others.

For example, when David Booth is active in a project, people know it is legit!

@drgnslayr I think @jaybate IS David Booth!!!

@VailHawk

Maybe if we are real nice to him he will donate big bucks to approx so we can add Greek columns to our site!

@VailHawk

In the Venn diagram of life, jaybate is all not Monsieur Booth. 😃
