Probably not HN's main interest, but Arrillaga is basically the main reason Stanford has sports teams (in particular, funding the football team)- he's basically funded everything they have around that, to say nothing of his other contributions to the school. And amusingly enough, If Silicon Valley has such a thing as a "power couple", Marc Andressen (the new world) and Laura Arillaga (scion of the old world, professor at the GSB) are it.
- FraaJad 12y agocould he be the one who gave money anonymously to name Cardinal football team's Offensive coorinator's position as "Andrew Luck Director of Offense"?
- crapshoot101 12y agoI'd be surprised, only because he puts his name on everything else - why make this one anonymous? I assume that the Andrew Luck thing came from some tech donor type, but that's definitely a WAG.
- jackowayed 12y agoHe doesn't put his name on everything. Apparently he's contributed to over a hundred buildings and could have had his name on many of the if he wanted to. I heard that he didn't even want his name on the new dining hall, but someone convinced him (which may be why it's "Arillaga Family").
