Stephen Ross donates $200 Million to UM (Michigan)

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/09/04/ross-harmonizes-charitable-giving-effort-to-get-stadium-charity/

So because this douchebag can get a tax write-off he gives the money to UM instead of the stadium that he owns in Miami. I get it. This is why the rich get richer. They never have to really pay for anything out of their own pockets. He refuses to do any improvements to the stadium (Sun Life). He was asking for $289 Million from the state even though he has the money to do all of the renovations himself. The league was going to fork over the other $290 Million. I really despise this guy and any of the rich owners trying to hose the taxpayers in their states. Unreal!
