Comment on just temporarily embarrassed billionaires, one good idea or lottery ticket from making it rich

Lots of American universities are named after the dudes who paid for the initially. I’m not saying I’d be proud to go to Bezos U (go fighting bald eagles!) but if it were free then you could hold your nose.

There isn’t a university named after a rich dude that’s free. Most are very expensive to maintain the brand value of the family name.

  Harvard, Princeton, Yale, MIT, and Penn are all free if your family makes less than $200k/yr. A bunch more are free at $150k and $100k cutoffs.
