Sounds fabulous. Much respect to donors including Mr. Knight. I better buy more Nike products now. lol

^ I was speaking with a Stanford co-woker that is very involved in Stanford fundraising etc and he said that the goal is to create the new, more hip US-equivalent of Rhodes. Rhodes covers Europe. Schwarzman is emerging as the equivalent for Asia and Knight-Hennessy could become the equivalent in the US.

With higher amount of award and the Knight name involved, I am sure this will take off. Sounds wonderful.
