The entire project will be privately funded through the philanthropy of Phil and Penny Knight and will include no use of public, state or general university fund dollars. Construction is expected to get underway after the first of the year, with the anticipated completion targeted for the summer of 2013.

How is building an office for Oregon football 'philanthropic' in any meaningful way unless the players are going to hand out soup to the homeless in it?

Because philanthropy means promoting the welfare of others, usually by the donation of one's money.

The money is being donated by the Knights' for the welfare of the Oregon football program.

Good for them.
