Wow, not only is he backing out, but want's his name taken off of the College of Business as well…I know some board members had quam with him, so this should be welcomed news to them…

"Former insurance magnate Barry Kaye has told Florida Atlantic University fundraisers he is unable to fulfill a $16 million pledge, the largest in FAU's history.

Kaye, 81, said Tuesday he would write the school a final $1 million check, bringing his total gift to $5 million and he asked to take his name off the College of Business. FAU accepted Kaye's revised agreement, which he blamed on economic conditions, according to a letter from Randy Talbot, executive director of the FAU Foundation."

Bye Bye Barry Kaye.

What annoys me is that you can get your name on a building just by saying you are going to give a bunch of money.  That's pathetic.

I look forward to playing in fauowl Stadium.

Go Owls!!

While his full $16 million check would have been nice, FAU did get $5 million out of it and we'll be able to get a businessman with a better reputation to name the college.

You would figure the University taking an insurance policy out on something like that just in case we still get the money!

Just sorry that his buisiness is "struggling" and that FAU is not gonna see that 11M! By the way, ALL schools basically sell themselves for money. Endowed chairs, buildings, etc...............
