CNN —Florida A&M University is putting a purported $237.75 million donation “on pause,” after media reports and college board leaders raised concerns about the actual value of the stock gift—and the details surrounding the donor’s previous donations. South Carolina’s Coastal Carolina University had announced a $95 million donation from an anonymous donor, who then backed out months later. At an emergency board meeting on Thursday, FAMU board of trustee and foundation members expressed their concerns and frustration about the school’s vetting process involving Gerami’s donation. He referred questions to the university and agreed to answer CNN’s questions on the following day, but he couldn’t be reached. FAMU’s Special Board of Trustees, which oversees the full school and the foundation, has scheduled a meeting for May 15 to discuss the donation.

McCray's Backyard BBQ and Seafood is serving up ribs with a side of rich history — and now CEO and pitmaster Derrick McCray wants to take the mom-and-pop restaurant nationwide. "Uncle Jay brought my father up in the barbecue business and made him a barbecue extraordinaire," he tells CNBC Make It. And he was pretty much the only black restaurant business in his area during that time." Declared the "war on drugs" by President Nixon in 1971, the epidemic hurt the health and profitability of McCray's Backyard BBQ and Seafood. It was a major wake-up call for McCray, and ultimately led him back home to take over the BBQ business.
