100%. We're talking choosing uniforms or whatever. Please list the crazy crap you would buy and make KSU implement in your list.

Great thread.
I would honestly say that I would set up a trust that would give $10-20 million with $2-5 million as an immediate up front payment. Let the rest accrue intrest for a minimum of 10 years, then have scheduled payouts without wiping out the capital. Then again, I would expect a ton of crap in return, like ridiculous amounts of access + perks. I would want to be Buddy from Friday Night Lights, except with Ksu football/basketball wildkhatz.
It is really hard to say. I would probably do something like this:
$2-3 million immediately spend
$20 million to K-State trust
The rest I would set up in a trust with 80% in treasury notes and muni bonds and then 10% in Euros + Pounds + Yen and 10% in a diversified moderate to aggressive growth portfolio
Would have family, friends and charities as beneficiaries. You can take money out of the trust, right? Would def take some out. Live off portion of the intrest etc.
$0? :dunno:
As much as it took to get Urban Meyer to leave Florida and stay at KSU for at least 10 years. Would consider giving the entire $100M for this.

All of it to the foundation on the following conditions:
I was given lifetime tickets to all KSU sporting events
I was appointed a director of the foundation until I was at least 70 with an annual directors fee of $150,000 with annual inflation adjustments.
Since this deduction would be tax exempt, my after tax payment would be greater than $100 mil so I would use that difference for immediate spending, investment for retirement and taking care of my kids.
I would:
1.) Pay $15 million for (http://vmedia.rivals.com/IMAGES/Coach/PHOTO/VENABLES_BRENT150.JPG) to sit next to me at all football games for me to look at.
2.) $5 million for me to personally once a week fly MHK - DFW - to a new destination every time (when you have over 500 possible different destinations, you can't go wrong :AA:).
3.) Pay $30 million for a roller coaster ride from my house to OOD. Makes the trip that much more fun.
4.) Pay whatever amount of money for CatMatt and Husker Pride to fight at midfield before every game. :woot:
$0? :dunno:
You could fly direct to/from DFW! I'm suprised you haven't jumped ship to EMAW by now.
First, I'd buy all current users (excepting ku and nubb fans) a one year sub to Premium Membership at KSUFans.com. Heck, I'd buy TP out, but let him stay on to keep doing what he is doing and make sure he could quit his day job. Note, that I'm only keeping MJ on as long as he adds value... :nahnah: Oh, and I'd buy all you folks who had Premium before the coolers MJ promised you. :dancin:
Second, I'd make sure Weird Robert (http://www.orgs.ttu.edu/studenthecklers/images/New%2004/robradio-sm.jpg) always had a limo, private airplane, etc. to make it to all 'Cat games in style. The limo would have serious tailgating supplies, so that Robert would not have to worry about going around to tailgates and get food. Of course he would still do that, but...
Third, I'd make sure we had a solid Athletic Department with good pay to lure and retain quality coaches. They would have to perform (coach, recruit, etc.). This board would determine the performance ratings...
It's fun to dream, isn't it ?:cyclist: :cyclist: :cyclist: :cyclist:
Build one of those Japanese bullet trains direct from KC to Manhattan. Anyone know how fast a one way trip would take on one of those? 30-45 minutes?
I think that could greatly help solve any problem of people traveling to/from KC for games/recruiting or any other reason to access KSU from a major metro area. It would be great for people that want to catch football games but even better for those basketball mid-week night games. It would be weather proof so it would work in the winter. The football and basketball teams could also use it to travel to away games in Lawrence/Columbia and the Big 12 Championships when in KC. Any persons associated with uk would not have access to the entire rail system unless they pay an absurdly high fee.
p.s. I have no idea if $100 million would even be enough to make that happen

Convince AA to make MHK a secondary hub.
