       Simons Gift To SBU
       By: Campi47 Date: June 2, 2023, 7:40 am

       The Simons foundation gave SBU $500 Million Dollars to be
       however they choose and supposedly for every two dollars that
       they receive NYS will give another $1 so the $500M will become a
       lot more so hopefully the Athletic Department gets a portion for
       the Stadium and other facilities. In April I was at a clinic and
       even though the facility is fairly new it’s already in need of
       repairs and the stadium also needs repairs and upgrades so let’s
       hope that happens

       I can hope some of this makes it to athletics, but given how
       things have been going.... even if athletics got every damn cent
       I wouldn't be very optimistic

       In every article i have read it shows where the money will be
       going and its very specific. Sports is not mentioned so athletic
       dept won't get any and they shouldnt if the donor didnt want it.
       Its Heilbrons job to raise the money. The properties managed by
       his department are falling apart. Our daughter has graduated and
       i enjoyed watching her play there but the stadium is falling
       apart and the basketball arena is showing a lot of wear and
       tear. The football program shouldnt get any money for how they
       have done the last five years its embarasing. I dont know how he
       gave the coach an extension. I dont think the president has any
       respect for that department.

       Just heard that Jim Simons passed, which is a terrible loss for
       the SB community.

       It could be argued that Simons is the single most influential
       person in SBU history.
