Many of the major donors who were doing things like funding buildings would also toss in a tennis court or jerseys for all of the teams. The low end donations were also a lot higher for anyone in a club. The school allows targeted donations. So if you wanted you could donate to sports. They also have smart alumni things.

It would have been $500 but 2 of them got in a bidding war, and $2k is the price to knock them both out.
