"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."

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!!

You would figure the University taking an insurance policy out on something like that just in case we still get the money!
if they were wise, they would take one out on him…he's 81! :D
