former razorback basketball standout ronnie brewer donated $50,000 to the african-american studies department at the university of arkansas this afternoon. brewer left school a year early to enter the nba draft back in 2006, and is currently playing for the utah jazz. the gift makes brewer one of the first former student athletes in arkansas history to donate money to their alma mater for academic rather than athletic purposes. brewer, who still has 40 hours to go on his broadcast journalism degree (thinking ahead, smart fella), said that he promised his mom he would finish up, and that he still intends to keep that promise. the money will be used for a scholarship fund to promote the advancement of minorities in journalism.
much respect, ronnie, much respect.

ps - i'd like to give a shout out to the tv guy with the blinding light on his camera. you stood 6 inches from the guy i was supposed to shoot for at least 20 minutes, but together we both made it work.
