The SI article that Edward Moller mentioned (and isn't it nice that they're finally
taking the time to focus on college hockey, *SMIRK*) indicated that Englestad's
donation was originally to be split 50-50 between construction of the new arena and
the school's general fund, I think... but gee, there were a lot of cost overruns on
the arena, and it wound up costing the whole hundred million. It's a very one-sided
article, which is to be expected since Englestad refused to be interviewed (probably
a good move on his part).

Oh, I'd be surprised if athletics didn't get SOMEthing, though certainly not $100 M.
