NORTH CAROLINA -- ONE DAY NAME CHANGE!!

[Eclipse]

I understand that a college cannot sustain itself with out a healthy endowment (on, your tuition doesn't cover the half of it), but I can't believe A &T sold out so cheap. Some barbeque and a $1200 book scholarship? Com'on.....please tell me I'm reading wrong. I was expecting to see at the very least, a couple million dollars!

The terms seem worthwhile except that the company is only giving $1200 for a book fund. With $1200 you can maybe buy enough books for ONE class. I am sure that MJ's company can give up a little more than that!

I can grasp the idea of sponsoring and financially supporting a HBCU. But my thing is why is this being done JUST to promote his clothing line? What ever happened to HUMANITY? They could have ATLEAST made it look as if they were trying to do something productive for the unviersity instead of it being all about money. I mean it's NOT like Michael Jordan NEEDS money. People will buy his stuff regardless. So what's reason? I mean, some of the CONDITIONS of the university receiving the money does not make sense to me. I think North Carolina A & T might have made a serious DUMMY move.
