Wish Warren was a bigger Husker Sports Fan. Would be nice to see some of his coin going to NIL or the Athletic Department.

Gotta hold out hope he just leaves it in his will.

Fifth wealthiest person on the planet and he’s giving it all away. And we’re lucky enough to share a home state with him. World may not see another of his moxie

This literally never makes the list of things I worry about when I think of Nebraska athletics.

Yeah if I had absurd money I’d like to think there’d be a lot more good I could do with it than throwing it at a university athletic department.

For a man who has made a career with a superb recognition of opportunities with a great ROI, we are perplexed he doesn't give to one of the biggest money pits on the planet. Do better people

 

[Dr.DrakeRamoray]

He doesn’t care about athletics here so why would he? Doesn’t he donate to the school itself?

 

[RedSavage]

Gotta respect being so charitable. Although his kids are doing just fine; they don’t need it. It would however be nice if the man would think about his own state once in awhile, regardless of our athletic department.

Buffet has done plenty to support the state.

Unless we have a foundation run by sexual deviants or an insider investment debt deal paying double market rates, we're probably not getting any of that Buffett money.

Dude has a pretty clear track record.

There’s a nice big shiny cancer center at UNMC with his name on it

That's actually Fred & Pamela Buffett. Fred was Warren's cousin, probably made some of his money investing in Berkshire, but otherwise I don't believe Warren had anything to do with that money.

Interesting. I didn’t know there were any wealthy buffets in the area who weren’t his children.

Warren donated $50,000 to West Point for their library. I beleive his mom was from West Point. I know drop in the bucket but still helpful. I was told that many of Warren's Donations are kept quiet at his request

We joined the dumb Big 10 and fucked the fan base over and sacrificed our success in order to have a secure source of revenue (and high revenue at that), when this happened I told my wife we would never donate to UNL now because they don’t need or want our money.

I don’t give a fuck about soccer and tennis. Stop wasting millions on these worthless niche sports. UNL needs to accept who they are and stop trying to be a wannabe Big 10 School in Diet Coke Portland.

I’ve always felt the same way when rubes beat their chest about the big ten money. It all goes to sports no one cares about in the first place so it doesn’t really matter. Football never had a money problem.

Warren can do what he wants with his own money, of course, but personally, I wish he’d spend more of it on things I care deeply about.

Yeah he's about as worthless as tits on a boar when it comes to things like that.
