The Petrinos made a $250,000 commitment in 2006 to build a family resource center for parents who have children in the NICU.

"To better help them understand how to help a premature baby become healthy, to integrate into their family," Meyer said.

Shortly after the pledge, Bobby Petrino had a new commitment to the Atlanta Falcons. Meyer said she never doubted their gift would still come through.

"I was really personally confident that they would honor their commitment and so gratified that they did," Meyer said.

Each year for five years, from Atlanta to Arkansas, the coach's family wrote a $50,000 check. Now that they're back in town, Meyer is looking forward to getting the Petrinos back in the building.

 

Petrino keeps his commitment to Kosair Children's Hospital - wave3.com-Louisville News, Weather & Sports

Good stuff!

Such a terrible human being!!! A man with no moral compass!

Probably his wife who had the moral compass to keep this promise. :sssh:

 

Seriously, this is a good story and a nice thing to do by the Petrinos. Very worthy cause.

Well, he just got like a 2 mill raise... Money well spent.

They actually made pledge payments every year AFTER he left Louisville and BEFORE he was rehired.

I always find the complexities of humanity fascinating. One can be a very fine person, yet still commit grave transgressions in other areas. It's what makes me have faith in my fellow man.

Since that has ANYTHING to do with this article...

He has a moral compass, it just gives him a false reading once in a while.

Even Jesus Christ's compass stuck a few times.

Glad to hear this. From total scumbag to partial scumbag in my mind now.

You are correct I thought he was donating now as well I didn't know UL fans kept track of his donations/tax writes offs after he left. It is encouraging that Bobby keeps his word when it really counts.

Good for Kosair's. Bobby shows he can be committed to something, since he hasn't really exhibited commitment as a strong suit in the past. He's still slime in my book.

This thread has slightly less traffic... Hmm.

He can't be criticized for this so no one wants to talk about it. UK fans pretty well showing the indifference of the blue bloods.
