Paul George just signed a fat new contract with the Indiana Pacers. When most young pro athletes receive their first big check, they typically go on spending sprees (big house, multiple cars, etc).
However, George,a Fresno State alum, wanted to do something nice for his alma matter. He bought every ticket to every seat at Fresno State’s home opener on Nov. 16th and will give them away for free. The gesture cost him roughly $260,000.
Fresno State officials tweeted the good news:
Print this voucher & take it to the Save Mart Center to get your FREE ticket to our Men's Basketball home opener! http://t.co/wVVvHV7zH6
