Nice gift (even better if UH can also find a similar donor as Tilman said he would give up naming rights to arena and donate $20 Million to another UH project if someone else had $$$$ for the naming rights.

One "I did not know that" of this Billionaire's past: He dropped out of Univ of Houston and Texas Tech and never graduated college...as he left to pursue his business dreams.

#notabadplan

PS. I still think UH should build a brand new arena instead of renovated the old Hoffeinz Arena...as there are plenty of nearby arenas they could play for at least one season while a new one is built.

Love me some Don's Seafood! Can't beat the Ashby Special (when they have crabmeat). Well he doesn't own that but I think he got his start by doing some Houston joint ventures with that family and eventually buying them out.
Great guy to have behind your program. Congrats!

Maybe instead of dumpling all this dough into naming rights, (who's going to see the name!? lol) he should take his $20mil and pay people to attend the games?
