Patriots owner supports Columbia
More than 45 years ago, Robert K. Kraft took the subway up the West Side of Manhattan every day for practice at Columbia's football stadium. As a student at Columbia, Kraft played football for three years and graduated in 1963. Now, Kraft, who served two terms as a Columbia trustee, will become a permanent part of the football program. Columbia will announce today that he is donating $5 million to its athletic department, early financing for a $100 million initiative for the university's athletics program. Kraft's contribution is one of the largest given to Columbia's athletic department. The field at Lawrence A. Wein Stadium will be named Robert K. Kraft Field.

That's a very nice gesture. Lord knows the school needs some cash to pay for better players. Maybe the Pats can have a training camp up there, ala the Panthers at Wofford.
