Pretty nice how all the NFL alumni apparently havent given squat back to their school;

The Rock Hands Over $1 Million to Former University

Wrestler-turned-movie star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has made history at his former college by handing over $1 million to fund football facilities at the University Of Miami. The action man, who played football at the Florida university a decade ago, now becomes the most generous former student athlete in the school's history. Johnson's cash gift will help to fund renovation in the university's athletic department. The Miami Hurricanes' football locker room will be renamed in the actor's honour. In making the donation on Tuesday, Johnson said, "My wife Dany and I have always said that being a student athlete here at the University Of Miami has always been a tremendous part of our lives. I have said it time and time again, that this program was a launching pad for my success." Johnson and his wife met at the university. They announced their separation in June.

I like the Rock.

I do too. I wish he'd stay away from the Disney cutsie flicks though.

It was a stipper named "Miami".

I could have sworn I heard Edge giving money to Miami..

In 2000 Edge gave $250,000 to the U of Miami. Last year he did it again.

Alex Rodriguez gave $3.9 million to the U of Miami.

I was going to say ... I'm sure lots of athletes have given money, but $1 million is a HUGE chunk of change for all but the most elite athlete. If you're Joe Blow Lineman and you're going to make $10 million over your career, and after taxes you might take home $4 million, you're not going to donate 25 percent of your career take-home earnings to anyone.
