Wonder if he would like to buy the team ~ I hear that the annual naming rights are for sale for like 30 million per year ~ "Ballmer's UW Dawgs" has a nice ring to it
Joking aside, Ballmer is a Harvard grad and his wife is an Oregon alum with key associations to the program ~ including major contributions to the university ~ it's hard to see Ballmer emerging as a consistent major donor to UW but you never know… here is a brief summary of the history of their philanthropy
"On November 12, 2014, it was announced that Ballmer and his wife Connie donated $50 million to the University of Oregon. Connie Ballmer is a University of Oregon alumna and previously was on the institution's board of trustees. The funds will go toward the university's $2 billion fundraising effort, and will focus on scholarships, public health research and advocacy, and external branding/communications.[102] On November 13, 2014, it was announced that Ballmer would provide a gift, estimated at $60 million, to Harvard University's computer science department. The gift would allow the department to hire new faculty, and hopefully increase the national stature of the program.[103] Ballmer previously donated $10 million to the same department in 1994, in a joint gift with Bill Gates.[104]

I don't think Phil needs any more help here but I'm for it.
Hope he publicly makes a big donation so we can start shaming Bill into a donationoff.
Ballmer probably has more money in his wallet right now than Phil Knight's net worth. If Bill wants to hop in too, fuck it, let's ride.
only billionaires can get away with grabbing two guys dicks and jerking them off courtside on video with zero repercussions.
His dubs needs work. Maybe he's arthritic. Happens.
you might be surprised…
Fisch is Sarking harder than little Stevie ever did

@ArthriticDawg!! True??
All these big names hanging around mean nothing if we can't get some offensive linemen
how much eligibility does Ballmer have left?
Hardy har har

In 2022, Ballmer donated $425 million to the University of Oregon to fund a new institute for children's behavioral health.[105][106]
Ballmer is on the World Chairman's Council of the Jewish National Fund, which means he has donated US$1 million or more to the JNF.[107]"
"his wife is an Oregon alum"
I don't think we should hold it against her that she couldn't get into a better university.
And she might appreciate the opportunity to be associated with a better university now.
