If I am not mistaken there is printed wording on some denominations of US Currency that state "In God we trust".
Given what I have observed about the norms, behaviors, etc. of the U.S. population and it's leaders ever increasingly the phrase should be changed to "In Greed we trust".

Sure you can - just ask the major networks. Isn't that why we are having this conversation? Even with the massive endowments of the elite football schools, that isn't the driver behind this. It is the networks and the courts. LOL... did any of the schools "buy" their way to elite status?? NONE TV money is going to the conferences seen as elite and the next iteration will be the elite teams removing the riff raff from those conferences. The rich are getting richer, there really isn't any new "blood" being invite to the party. Stanford, Cal, SMU, UO/WA (not full payouts for years)? /shrug

They'd gone 25 years without a bowl game then got to the weedeater bowl and Phil started dumping money into the program. Within a decade they went from futility to consistently in the national conversation. I'd call that buying their way into elite status.

My two cents. BDC was a blessing and a curse. He was a curse, when it seemed like Oregon State had money. But now that Oregon State does not, BDC's bean counting is why things are not much, much worse. Wazzu's big issue going back 10-15 years (basically ever since Bill Moos took over as AD) was that they were spending a lot of money that they did not have during the Great Recession and the slow recovery thereafter. Bill Moos with no real concept of money after more than a decade at Oregon, and a couple of additional years spent raising cattle, spent money on basketball and football with reckless abandon. Oregon State basketball and football coaches were fighting with one hand tied behind their back, when compared to Wazzu, who was spending like it was going out of style. Well, all of the checks that were written from 2010-2020 (the seven Moos year and the three that spending stayed more or less static before Pat Chun started to balance the budget in early 2020) are all now being cashed. While the Pac-12 existed, Wazzu could count on the debt accumulated over the previous decade not really being that big of a deal. However, without a Pac-12, Wazzu, after the financial mismanagement of Moos and the slow correction by Chun, Wazzu is in a really bad way in a way that Oregon State is not. Chun leaving to Washington a couple of months ago indicates to me that, as bad as it seems to be, it is probably much worse, too. The rats are leaving the ship. As great as it would be to be able to work together with Wazzu moving forward, that may not be a reality. Oregon State might want to partner with a school like San Diego State to try and get something done with a Power Four Conference. That may be more viable. I hope the goal is still to be in the premier Pacific/Mountain time zone conference. With that in mind, San Diego State has to be in the conversation. If there is a way to get ESPN, Fox, Apple, or someone to offer around $30M/team if the teams are Utah, the Arizonas, SDSU, Cal, Stanford, OSU, WSU and then perhaps two more, the world will continue to exist. Not knowing anything, if the ACC teams can get out of their deal, so could Utah and the Zonas. I could not care f'n less about tsdtr, the LA schools . . . . and I think I'm missing one - oh well. You forgot UW - really do not care about the geographical argument - screw the leg humpers! LA, Seattle - same crap, different piles!

I believe that "In God We Trust" has been on all coinage since 1938 and all paper money since at least 1966. Lincoln put it on the coins The Confederacy adopted "Deo vindice" ([with] God [as our] defender/protector) as their national motto. In response, the Union adopted "In God We Trust" as the national motto. The very last thing that Lincoln signed as President before his assassination was to put "In God We Trust" on all coins except the penny, 3¢ (used at the time because that was the price of a stamp), dollar, and quarter eagle. Ulysses S. Grant added "In God We Trust" to the dollar in 1873. The nickel lost "In God We Trust" in 1883 and did not get it back until 1938, the last coin to get "In God We Trust." The quarter and half dollar lost "In God We Trust" in 1891. Teddy Roosevelt was the first President who did not serve (or was at least drafted and purchased his way out of service, Grover Cleveland) in the Civil War. Roosevelt approved of a design, which would have removed "In God We Trust" from all coinage. The move was met with outrage. Roosevelt, not wanting to alienate the people, caved and added "In God We Trust" back to the quarter, half dollar, dollar (even though no dollars were produced again until the 1921, because there was a law at the time that prevented dollars being made out of certain silver), quarter eagles, half eagles, eagles, and double eagles. Roosevelt approved the Lincoln penny for Lincoln's hundredth birthday in 1909, which included Lincoln's "In God We Trust" on the penny for the first time. The design lasted into the Taft presidency. The Lincoln penny was the first to display a real person, all previous coins depicting people like Native Americans or the personification of "Liberty." The Mercury dime followed in 1916. And the Jefferson nickel was last in 1938.

He just threw us $50 million for the new CIC building going up along Monroe Avenue. From what I hear, that $50 million is one of four different $50 million donations. Also, I note that Jensen Huang comes from Taiwan, where baseball tends to be a bigger deal than football. I was reading about the 2018 Oregon State baseball's trip to Washington, DC in 2019 again. And I was reading that one anonymous donor financed the whole thing. And I still don't remember if we ever decided who that was.

Was this due to unusual WBB expenses during this fiscal year? Or is it an ongoing pattern? Thanks.... GO BEAVS!! Nothing unusual. Rueck had success, which means you pay him more and the deficit gets bigger. Baseball and rowing are the other big money losers. True. But even if OSU were to cut the coaches salaries in half, the expenses would still be over $4 million.

Huang’s family moved to Thailand when he was quite young, then to the US when he was 9. He graduated from Aloha High School. He has been rumored to be the anonymous donor who finished Reser’s west side. Just saw a Reddit post who said his contacts in the athletic department indicated as much… although those types of claims are often sketchy at best. I suspect whoever made that donation doesn’t want to be known as OSU’s “Uncle phil”, Jensen or otherwise.

You mean, he doesn't want to be an attention whore like Uncle Phil, Nike and Hole, hurting his arm patting himself on the back? I am shocked!

The people that I know in the AD office told me it was Pat Reser that made that donation, but I’ve wondered why she would have done it anonymously.

I wasn't going to say anything, because I like to stay on the DL and keep a low profile, but I was the anonymous donor. Mystery solved.
