None of my sources say northwestern paid for it.

The stadium was 100% paid for by private donations. Zero university budget was used.

The university budget is a private source. NU is a private institution. How do you not understand that?

From your ESPN source:

The cost for new Ryan Field far surpasses the most for a new stadium built in college football, San Diego State's Snapdragon Stadium at $310 million, or the biggest renovation, Texas A&M's Kyle Field at $450 million. Northwestern, which had put aside funds in anticipation of a stadium renovation, will support part of the rebuild, but most will come from the Ryan family.

But I'm honestly done arguing with you, you're clearly convinced the University was gifted the 900 million dollar stadium. Which doesn't change my day in the slightest.
