Hmmm...

$68M for the new FB training center with message tables, in house barber, and video game rooms
$15-$25M for "student family housing" to make sure that Mom and Dad can live in comfort while son stars at RB
$8M for "student transportation" to make sure that junior has a decent ride and to help him adjust to his future life in "The League"
$2M for "on campus hosts" to make sure that prospects get the true "campus experience"
....
