If it costs more than $60 million to build the stadium, sure.

What good is a $60 million donation if it costs you $100 million on something you weren't going to buy in the first place?



Because now you have a $100M stadium that you only paid $40M for. That stadium generates revenue. You just need to make sure the numbers work

The entire point of this thread is that universities aren't doing that, because they're accepting $100 million donations with quarter-billion dollar lifetime price tags tied with them.


This is lower tier D1 baseball in the Northeast, so revenue is going to be minimal.
