Where Ralph Wilson's money from the sale of the Bills is going.

[CorkScrewHill]

50% of the 1.2 billion dollar endowment goes to Detroit and the other goes to Buffalo. One problem is they have 20 years to spend it and the endowment grew to 1.9 billion from investments.

 

For those upset that the state and county are paying a high price for the stadium .. this should take some of the sting out of it.

Is this like Brewster's Millions? Spend it by the deadline and you get five times that amount?

 

None of the above?

I don’t know if hookers and blackjack count as charitable causes though.

Bucs Pats, both suck.

Sadly not one dime of that money will be used toward the new stadium, on the other hand, the charity’s that those allocated dollars are used to support are doing far more good things for the community than the building of a stadium will ever do,  Ralph may not have been particularly good at football franchise ownership sports wise, but he was a good guy and should be remembered as such,
