• "Sid Hartman," Star Tribune, Dec. 2, 2007. The sports columnist writes, "Mark Dienhart, the former Gophers athletic director and now a St. Thomas University vice president, said the $60 million donated recently to St. Thomas by Lee and Penny Anderson will be used toward a project combining the building of a student center as well as some on-campus facilities. The total cost is expected to be around $100 million. 'We're going to put in a brand-new student center, and then we're going to replace all of the athletic and recreational facilities on campus. So, it's kind of a big deal,' Dienhart said. Could this project result in the Tommies going Division I? 'Nope,' he said, 'the trustees took a look at that a couple of years back when we were talking about it and they said, in the short term, what they want us to do is put better facilities in and be even stronger at the Division III level.'"  https://www.startribune.com/507/story/1585936.html
