"Edward Stack
Eddy Stack is the Chairman and CEO of Dick’s sporting goods. He’s worth $1.1B and made his money by taking over his fathers (Dick Stack – Electric) two sporting goods stores and expanding to over 700 stores around the country. He checks almost every box. Grew up in Binghamton. Involved in sports at least in a minor way. Has over a billion dollars to play with. Slam dunk, case closed, right? Not so fast, the next candidate is so perfect I’d be utterly stunned if he isn’t our mystery donor.
Thomas Tull
Thomas Tull is THE perfect candidate for our mystery donor. Mr. Tull made his fortune in the movie business. He founded Legendary Pictures which produced both the Dark Night trilogy and the Hangover trilogy. He’s also a part owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers and has a net worth of $1.2B. He grew up in Endwell which is six miles from Binghamton University. Here’s the kicker, he even sponsored Maine-Endwell Little League’s trip to Williamsport where they ended up winning the whole thing. While there wasn’t anybody on that team with the last name Tull, he obviously has a connection to that group of kids. If we do the math, those kids are now 15-16 and starting to think about college. If they started construction on the stadium this summer, they could conceivably be wrapping up for their Freshman year. He has the cash. He has a vested interest in the community, and even a connection to possible future student athletes. He’s our guy and you can’t say anything that would change my mind."
