Haha. That is so offensive and stupid. How you gonna bet that your supporters die as a fundraiser?

Always fun to be sitting at a game and wondering if there's a hit on you by the school you're pulling for.

"Say, this double-cheese coney doesn't taste right..."

Haha...from the story when they bought the policies five years ago:

Over the course of the last year, Pickens, 77, steered his alma mater's athletics department to buy life insurance policies for himself and a posse of aging Cowboys donors. The department hopes to net about $250 million from the proceeds by the time the last donor dies...

Oklahoma State's donors were selected because their age, gender and health "best matched the university's needs," said John Lee, chairman of Dallas-based Management Compensation Group, which is managing the insurance program. To put it less delicately, the donors selected are expected to die in a timely manner to generate the $250-million payout.

Only two of the prospective donors hung up when Larry Reece, Oklahoma State's executive director of major gifts and development, broached the subject.

I don't see why it'd be a hoax.

Tacky? Yes. But this is OSU we're talking about.

I hope the Onion writes a story on this

Wow, crazy stuff.

On the other hand, it IS a way to give back or "donate" to your school without any out of pocket expense. I'd prob be down. haha.

I find it hilarious because that's waaaaaay more than our big 12 buyout
