Footballers and bankers for San Diego State

Professional football legend Brian Sipe, who played for the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League from 1974 to 1983 before two seasons in the upstart United States Football League, has kicked in $10,000 to the campaign for the ballot measure to turn what used to be called Qualcomm Stadium over to San Diego State University.

Sipe, an SDSU alumnus, ex-head coach at Santa Fe Christian High School, SDSU’s onetime quarterback coach, and custom home designer, is listed as a construction consultant with Brian Sipe Design of Del Mar. Banker Terry L. Atkinson of Tiburon, California, another wealthy SDSU alum, came up with $100,000 for the Aztec cause the same day Sipe gave on December 18, disclosure filings show.
