LINCOLNSHIRE, IL - CNBC host, entrepreneur and philanthropist Marcus Lemonis has shown over and over that he knows how to help companies increase revenue on his hit CNBC reality series, 'The Profit,' and now he is asking college sports fans to do the same for their favorite schools. Lemonis is following up on a friendly rivalry wager he made in 2014 from his Twitter account @MarcusLemonis, when his beloved Miami Hurricanes played against their well-known rivals the Florida State Seminoles in a football game. Lemonis promised that he would donate $25,000 to the FSU School of Business if the football team won against Miami. The Seminoles reigned successful in the November 15, 2014 battle with an end score of FSU 30 to Miami 26. Now, Lemonis is not only paying up, but also stepping up, by encouraging corporations and alumni from across the country to join his challenge, 'Ballgames to Books,' by offering donations to their rival's academic departments when their favorite team loses. Donations are encouraged in any amount, starting at $25.
