Mizzou received an anonymous $62 million donation.  $50M goes towards improvements to the football stadium and $12M basically goes to NIL.

Hmm....this has been tight lipped.  No one wants to spill the beans. 

If it's a single person, there's really only 2 places where this kind of money can be put up by a single person.  Either Bill Laurie or Stan Kroenke.  However, if it's Laurie, I don't think he would do it anonymously.  He likes the attention.

Either way, yeah, could be Walton money.

When are they starting on that Stadium Remodel?

Should be after this upcoming season.  Renderings will be available in April.  Supposed to be a north end zone remodel to include new premium seating and an entertaining district to be used year round to generate more income.  Not sure exactly what that means but we'll know in a couple of months.'

Also, new video board and sound system will be in place for the start of the 2024 season

Well, perhaps not Walton money.  Perhaps someone else is stepping up.

A year around entertainment venue sounds like Stan K. Money. But just a guess.

Does he think it's not happening? That the donation is a scam? Or that the 50 million to renovations and 12 million to the NIL won't happen in those amounts? It was a strange response.
