Nvidia stadium. Think all these corporate CEOs with their corporation name on stadiums love football or basketball or baseball. Hell no all of them don't. But it helps their business so they do it.

Jensen Huang donated $50 million to OSU to help build a new computer science building.
He does give to OSU, substantially, just not for sports.

Gie the man (and his wife) time. They already gave $50 million, at the rate he's earning he'll have to give more to someplace to offset his taxes. Maybe he'll develop a taste for sports. Heck, never mind football, just endow the Olympic sports and that would be a huge, huge benefit.

Honestly, giving money to the academics side, especially technology, will change more lives for the better then any amount of donation to the athletics side ever could. Making Oregon State the premier destination University for Computer science/engineering in the Pacific Northwest would be beyond huge.

The greed in college football has kind turned me off. I mean we need money to fund the AD of course, but I honestly don't give a s%#t about trying to keep up with the jones' OSU is a great school, and Corvallis is great college town. If they don't know, we don't need em.

Knight is worth 42 billion. Huang is worth 61 billion. Both can give to whoever or whatever they want to. But I will say Mr. Knight has given billions to athletics, education, medical, etc...All I know is Mr. Huang has given 50 million to OSU. Being greedy I don't desire Mr. Huang buy a university like Knight has but some donation to the athletic department would be greatly appreciated.

We should be grateful for Mr. Huang's generosity while hoping it may expand into the athletic program.

Being greedy I don't desire Mr. Huang buy a university like Knight has but some donation to the athletic department would be greatly appreciated. imo, it's very OSU-like to have a mega billionaire alum who seemingly isn't into sports, or interested in funding them, at OSU. I wouldn't be disappointed if Jensen kicked in a couple billion to the AD. But I'm also not gonna be disappointed if he doesn't. Again, I just don't care as much about the money side of it as I once thought I did. It's reached ludicrous speed, and it's completely out of control.
