This is a great demonstration of Spurrier’s longstanding commitment to Florida. Spurrier has plenty of love for his alma mater and this gift is just another sign of it.

The project needs $50 million in private support in order to build a standalone football complex, in addition to stadium upgrades for the baseball and softball programs, according to GridironNow.

Spurrier encouraged others to assist in the initiative.

He da man.

Maybe that'll open up some wallets so we can install our new high tech video gaming lounge & smoothie bar for the student athletes.

It pisses me off that the money is also going to baseball and softball. If I could afford $100k I damn sure wouldn't be donating unless the money was going exactly where I wanted to go.

I heard SOS was only a 3 star in HS FB but 5 star in baseball..............

 

[Gator Fever]

That should get some money rolling in.

 

[BNAG8R]

That should get him into one of the top "Sunshine Seats" sections.

I would take 100 hours of QB coaching in lieu of the donation.

Which is exactly where he wants it to go. He is a Gator so all Gators are important not just football Gators. Now you have a different view and that is fine.

I gave $6. Where's is my tweet…

Sure, he's free to donate knowing where it's going. Likewise I'm free not to. I'd be willing to bet that there are more than a few big time boosters that would step up to the plate if it was going 100% football. We've done that in the past. I believe stadium expansion was a specific donation.

Not a problem freedom means just that.
