Knight has poured tens of millions of dollars into what amounts to makeup and jewelry for the athletic department. Consider the size and cost of new academic-support buildings at three big-time schools:Miami, under construction now: 30,000 square feet, $13.6 million.Michigan, completed in the winter of 2006: 38,000 square feet, $12 million.Oregon: 37,000 square feet, $41.7 million.Actually, that $41.7 million is a university estimate of how much the building cost. Knight paid for it himself and wouldn't say. The school may not even know.
