This is day old news...And what is fishy about it? ISU has had plenty of sizable anonymous donations.

Anonymous usually means that the University at least knows who is giving, but keeps the party anonymous. Not money just showing up anonymously in the mail box.

Should they send it back?

 

[Haverhill]

Yea, roundup guy could be giving us an extended amount of money here soon... No one is giving him crap for it.... We could have a south endzone out of the deal too!

 

[crgrat]

Heck NO! Why would you? Not blaming Iowa for this. Just find it strange, that's all.

 

[SplitIdentity]

Yes, fishy.

Donated to go towards court and lawyer fees.

How is it strange? Does the article say that the money is going to the athletic department? Usually that stuff is specified.

I believe the donor asked to have 5mil used for scholarships for women and minorities.

As a white male, I think this is BS.

From TFA:

DES MOINES, Iowa — A mystery is unfolding in the world of college fundraising: During the past few weeks, at least nine universities have received gifts totaling more than $45 million, and the schools had to promise not to try to find out the giver's identity.

One school went so far as to check with the IRS and the Department of Homeland Security just to make sure a $1.5 million gift didn't come from illegal sources.

Sounds like the University might not know who is donating.

Just think....had this money been given to ISU perhaps you could have kept Cael.
