Like any advertising or sponsorship spend. They also made 65B in pressure last year, so this is nothing Previous Message https://www.commercialappeal.com/story/sports/college/memphis-tigers/2024/04/19/fedex-memphis-athletics-nil-fred-smith-football-basketball-laird-veatch/73376523007/ How the hell does FedEx justify flushing $5MM/year down the drain to shareholders? Is there a publicly traded company I’m not thinking of that throws money away to a single university like FedEx does? I know Nike supports Oregon, but that’s just with random gear, it’s not like Nike corp is building practice facilities.
