Re: Big $$ Announcement Coming
AWESOME!! DG had mentioned, but was tantalizingly vague, about a large donation headed our way at an event I was at last month. My bro-mance for that guy gets stronger and stronger...

Re: Big $$ Announcement Coming
Totally understand. It wasn't all that important, I was just wondering after having a discussion with a colleague who asked whether it was a cash donation or if was contingent on a variable.firemoose wrote: ↑Wed Nov 08, 2017 4:49 pmTold you people would be happy, except the brilliant people that hate athletics and are already complaining about it but haven't figured out yet that every one of these means less that Athletics takes from the Foundation.
And Shine, what I was told a while back was it was a straight up single gift donation. After hearing that and 10 Mil I didn't ask any more questions.
Where are you seeing complaints? I'd like to read those and possibly respond in kind.

I had a meeting with a Yosef employee today and he confirmed that the track would be going as part of the North End Zone project that this gift is funding. Doubling up on our good news.

Re: Big $$ Announcement Coming
This is great news! I'm always thankful when folks give what they can give regardless of the amount. I'm thankful, too, that we have alums who can give these sorts of donations ... and do!
If serving is beneath you, then leading is beyond you.

Awesome. From my graduating class! Don't know him, but I'll claim him from 1989!

Re: Big $$ Announcement Coming
The best part of this is this gift like all of ours is for the love we have for our University and its from the heart. Mark clearly gets the TIGMA award for the week. Thank you Mark from the bottom of all our hearts.

Anyone that complains about the money going to athletics needs to leave Boone now as they don't really care about the school.firemoose wrote: ↑Wed Nov 08, 2017 4:49 pmTold you people would be happy, except the brilliant people that hate athletics and are already complaining about it but haven't figured out yet that every one of these means less that Athletics takes from the Foundation.

This is a great day for App State not just athletics.
When will "It's better than what we had" no longer be good enough for App State?

Re: Big $$ Announcement Coming
Call me crazy but I think $10 mil. might be worth a little more than the TIGMA award for the week! I'll be happy to nominate Mark for the quarterly TIGMA. We might have to make that a thing, but a donation like that is worth the effort. So here's to you, Mark, Class of '89...APP State Athletics Santa Daddy 2017!

Touchdown Santa is Mark's spirit animal! Mr. Ricks deserves a thank you sign for everyone to see on national television tonight.
Students, make this happen.

I also believe, assuming this is the same Mark Ricks, that he is the Director of Global Protective Services for Mars, Inc.

Re: Big $$ Announcement Coming
I'm sure Mark or Double Wood Farm is going to have their name on something in Boone after this.HkyMtneer wrote: ↑Thu Nov 09, 2017 6:41 amCall me crazy but I think $10 mil. might be worth a little more than the TIGMA award for the week!

Re: Big $$ Announcement Coming
Interested in reading about this gentleman and his business but nothing comes up on a google search. Anyone else know?
