Two things:
1. I think Scruggs bought Eli's house. I don't know when the sale was final but it was on the market at least 2 years ago. Eli moved out and left everything there so they just had an estate sale.
2. "The Scruggs Home at Ole MIss" Have you ever noticed that everything up there has to be named XXXX at Ole Miss or XXXX at Oxford?

I’m glad someone else has noticed that. It’s comical at this point. I’m sure they think it sounds more exclusive, elite, or whatever buzzword they use in fantasyland these days.

Convicted felon, Dickie Scruggs.

It’s amazing that a licensed lawyer can get caught red handed bribing judges and still be in a position to donate $8 million to his alma mater. And that school is happy to accept it and slap his name on it.

I wonder who he bribed to get the name changed from "The Convicted Felon Scruggs Home at Ole Miss"

They already took his name off a building when his disgrace was fresher in the minds of the public.

Quote from the article: “America’s most beautiful campus”. Good grief.

I'ma translate for you:

"The nearly $8 million discount represents an in-kind contribution to the university from the Scruggses"

Translation: It sat on the market for several years but nobody in their right mind would fork over $18mil for a house in Yoknapatawpha County so he sold it to the hightest offer and wrote off the loss.

You can add "of" to the list as well as in The Country Club of Oxford.

Exactamundo.

Being the Bro in Law of the former May Joriddy Leada o da Senators still has its advantages, even after prison.

Or did he get a tax deduction on the loss?

Or did he get a tax deduction on the loss?

Avoiding capital gains tax on the sale of the house.
