Oh, sure, I fully believe he'd be happy to shell out the cash, and between donations and other 'altruistic' companies looking to get a piece of the action help this worthy cause he probably wouldn't be out much cash that he can write off as tax-deductible anyway and would likely to turn a profit what with all the free and favorable coverage. Heck, if I owned a limo service anywhere between the Big Easy and Northern Misssisippissipi I'd offer to contribute some limos to the event. I'm a firm believer in companies capitalizing on public outrage giving something back to the communities they are part of.
Yep, definitely channeling my inner-cynic today

Given the nature of the people involved, I highly doubt they're willing to go to NOLA.

Prom is in early April - so statistically, only about 25% of students will have turned 18...

That's probably off by a good deal, closer to 50%

What on earth have students' sex lives got to do with the college?

I was just suggesting it as a possible reason, there's no need to get persnickity.

I didn't mean to be persnickety. I was just trying to understand.
