While Loyola is Benson's alma mater, it is important to note that Tom Benson has donated millions for athletics to Loyola, Tulane and Incarnate Word. |

From that article: Another $17 million of the total is being allocated to athletics facilities, including renovations to Loyola’s recreation and sports complex, such as reworked floors and updating its weights and conditioning areas, which Gisclair said “look like something out of ‘Rocky.’” That effort is expected to lead to expanded athletic offerings for students. |

Another worthwhile quote: The campaign is Loyola’s first major fundraising push in more than a decade, said Loyola graduate Derby Gisclair, the campaign’s co-chairman. In hindsight, he said, the school should have conducted smaller, ongoing campaigns, which could have helped pay for the university’s needs as they arose. “You’re always supposed to be raising money,” he said. |
