I wouldn't be surprised if the motivation of the donor was to further cement David Shaw's emotional ties to Stanford at least as much as it was to honor Willie Shaw.

Had the momentary thought (when this was first announced) that the donor...was David Shaw.

On topic, I find this funny in that "Oh, Stanford" way, I don't actually have a problem with it.

I am in favor of whatever golden handcuffs we can use on the present staff.

Mason is going to get a lot of looks at HC positions after another year of running this defense.
