As you might have heard, Lonnie Poole donated $40 million dollars to NC State last week, with all but $3 million going to the College of Management. The College of Management has always been a front for the Wolfpack Club, of course. The truth is in the vagueness.

When you reach a certain level of extravagance, it's hard to find worthwhile avenues of in-your-face excess. Sure, we could build an indoor practice facility for the football team. But that's boring. Besides, O'Brien had his chance. He doesn't need a fully-staffed bar in his office, or an endless supply of solid gold America hats, or a Harrier jet for errands about town, he says.
