It will be redirected to the football program, somehow.

This just goes to prove that a UT degree is twice as valuable as an A&M degree. 

“Walker has strong ties to the two universities, having earned a bachelor’s degree and Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Texas A&M and a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from UT Austin.”

Petty cash for Jimbo’s recruiting slush fund.

Awesome! He must've been jealous of the the EERC building and wants to see more upgrades on the Mechanical/Petrolium side.

Maybe they will remove that horrible Mark di Suvero ironwork sculpture.

I'd like to see some it it subsidize a good fried rice eggroll kiosk, hold the fencing operation.

I wonder how much that would buy in Thermodynamics cheat sheets (jr. reports that most of his classes are not too bad toughwise, at least manageable, but Thermo will be kicking his ass up, down and sideways.  Says he needs to use "83% of his available total brainpower for Thermo." this semester).

Just wait for fluid dynamics and heat transfer.
