Newcastle is rich

how any team can take MBS’s money with a complete uproar from the fans is beyond me.
 
The head choppers being allowed to own a football club is ridiculous. Fit and proper?

would our fans reject donation if the donation allow la us to compete with the blue blood programs? Let’s say someone with similar background wants to donate to ISU for academics and/or athletics. Would we reject those?

I would hope that we wouldn’t take Saudi blood money. 9/11 and all that.

There is a line in the sand for me. Anyone who lures an international journalist to a meeting where he has been guaranteed he will not be harmed and they kill him and cut his body into pieces. That's the line- I would reject the donors money-

Let’s face it:
All high-ideals aside, Iowa State (or any other institution for that matter) would take that money in a heartbeat.
A clever institution would attempt to muddy the money trail a little bit, but make no mistake- they’re cashing that check.

Most people, including myself, would take the money if it was to us as a person. Why would we expect money-hungry universities to be any different?

I absolutely love Newcastle and the NE. Used to travel there for work frequently. Now I'm not a million soccer star and I can see it not being their cup of tea, but to me it's a phenomenal area.
Money talks for players. They will sign plenty of notable stars.
 
Great news for US soccer fans. More parody in the EPL can bring in more fans IMO.

It's why we love the NFL. Any team is a rich owner and star player away from the playoffs
