Nice chunk of change. What a great gift for any school to get.


"Walt Zable himself was a gifted athlete. A Boston native, he turned down a scholarship offer from Harvard University to attend William & Mary, where he became an honorable mention All-American in football while also lettering in baseball, basketball and track. He received a bachelor’s degree in physics from the College and met his late wife of 65 years, Betty Virginia Carter Zable ’40."

I am confident they'll redo the press box/coaches boxes, and have them at least 50-60 feet in the air..

We are in good shape with this gift. The $10 million for scholarships will bring our athletic endowment alone to $62 million. W&M's total endowment is approaching $700 million, with a major new campaign kicking off July 1.

W&M tuition isn't even that high (for a private university anyway). You guys must have some other donors with fat pockets too.

William & Mary has been a state supported school since 1908.

Excellent news! Congrats, and thanks to the Zable family!
