$125M X .50 = $62.5M Left after deductions, etc…
Definitely could swing a cool Mil towards the stadium! ;D

Is that really all that would be left if you took the lump sum? Man…
I actually have started to think about this idea of what I'd do with my winnings…. basically I'd use the majority of it to turn the area around campus into a college town area.
Some off-campus ideas I had included restaurants (i.e. "the Red and Brew", taking over the old "Grinders" restaurant), some bar projects my friends and I have been discussing (like a place called "The Union" across from 7-11 on Glades+2nd that would essentially be "an off-campus student union"), student apartment complexes (one called Campus Edge and one called Stadium Village with the pool done up to look like our football field, uprights and all), give you guys some money so you could open up an Owlsgear.com store (preferrably in University Commons), stuff like that. I'd think an FAU apparel store could survive if it was 50% FAU and 50% other collegiate schools (i.e UF/FSU stuff) until it could survive on FAU only.
On-campus ideas include donations to the stadium, sculptures, banners, pavers for the crosswalks, paintball arena, skate park, establish a film school with state-of-the-art equipment and studio space, stuff like that.
The only scholarships I would be interested in would be full band scholarships so we can recuit band members like we do football players.
Obviously I couldn't do all of this with only $65 million but you get the idea.

My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

After paying off credit card and student loan debt, ALL of the money goes to the stadium. The stadium is named Howard Schnellenberger Field - the field is named FAU Alumni Field - and the student entrance and the brick walkway leading into the stadium is the Rick "$mitty" Smith Brick Sidewalk of Tradition.
