As Ole Miss's #1 hater... I'll throw my two cents in.

I don't like Houston Nutt. I don't like Ole Miss athletics. I could care less about it anything in this article... but it is nice to see someone donate part of their earnings back to a university. Especially in these economic times. $100,000 doesn't seem like a lot but anything these days is good.

As for Sherrill donating $1,000,000... (when coaches didn't make as much money as they do now)... Sherrill really needed to do something to keep the people in Starkville loving him. That was his thing. I love the man to death but we kept him around for other reasons than his ability to coach. The difference between Nutt and Sherrill (in real life, not in football) is Sherrill and his whole family received some kind of degree from Mississippi State University. Nutt has no ties to UM. He donated $100,000 to a public university in the poorest state in the USA. He did it for just that reason.

The point I'm getting at it is while Sherrill donated more money, it's because he had ties to MSU other than being an employee. Nutt does not.

Again... I like that Nutt did this... but I still don't like him.
