SLC schools now have $$$$ from Saints ownership (UIW) and Texans now (HBU)...

HOUSTON – Houston Baptist University has received a $3 million gift from Robert and Janice McNair to support the construction of the Huskies' new on-campus football stadium, HBU President Robert B. Sloan Jr. announced Saturday.

"Janice and I believe HBU is one of the leading universities in Christian higher education, we also recognize the values of football and as such, see this as a worthwhile contribution to continue that excellence," Robert McNair said. "As we've seen with the Texans, the sport of football provides a rallying point for the whole community. We see that same dynamic taking shape at HBU, and we are proud to be part of it."

"Robert and Janice McNair have been long-time friends of HBU, and we are grateful for their support and generosity," Sloan said. "This gift will make a significant impact toward our football stadium, as well as to the entire University."

Bob McNair is as classy a man as you'll find anywhere. Which makes it all the more shocking that he would own an NFL franchise in the State of Texas.

Congrats to HBU on moving closer to their goals of bring football to their campus. Obviously a private school isn't going to get the strong-armed benefits that TSU gained by members of the city council. So these types of contributions are huge.
