You could always buy beer…A bottle of domestic beer (Budweiser, Miller Lite, etc.) at Coyote Jack’s on the Boca campus is $2.49. With $577,950 we could get 232,108 beers. That’s about an average of 9 beers per person for each of the 26,000 FAU students. That’s a six-pack and a half. In fact, Jack’s is running a beer special right now – 3 for $6. That would be 288,975 beers and 11 beers per person. That’s a lot of beer.

The average price for gas these days is around $2.90 a gallon – and that’s just for regular grade. Davenport’s severance package could pay for 199,293 gallons of gas. With the average fuel tank size taking 15 gallons of gas, we could fill 13,286 tanks. More than half of the 26,000 students at FAU could get a free tank of gas. Wouldn’t that be nice?

A large (14″) cheese pizza at Domino’s is $10.99. That’s 52,588 pies. With eight slices per pie, we’d have 420,704 slices of pizza. Each one of FAU’s 26,000 students would get 16 slices, or about two pies.

A grande Mint-Mocha Chip Frappuccino at Starbucks sets you back $3.90. With $577,950, you could buy 148,192 cups of minty-chocolate coffee. That’s enough for an icy Frappuccino every morning for four years.

The new iPod shuffle is $79 at the Apple Store. With $577,950, we could equip 7,315 students with a free neon-colored, 240-song, clip-on mp3 player. So 28 percent of students at FAU would be walking around with the world’s smallest digital music player. Rock on.

TROJAN condoms at CVS cost $11.99 for a 12-pack box. With Lawrence Davenport’s severance package, we could buy 48,202 boxes. That’s 578,432 safe sex encounters. That’s about 22 lays per student.
