Boone Pickens Sets OSU For the Next 20 Years

Wow.

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) -- Oil magnate Boone Pickens likes to win. And with the largest donation to an athletic program in NCAA history, Pickens hopes his alma mater will be able to compete with any school in the country.

Pickens announced Tuesday he has donated $165 million to Oklahoma State to help create an athletic village north of the football stadium that already bears the name of the 77-year-old Texas oil tycoon. The money will go toward completing the upgrade of Boone Pickens Stadium and fund changes in a 20-year master plan yet to be approved by university regents.

Amazing! At another school, that could buy a lot of high school linemen out of Memphis..

[Of course, it could pay for a lot of jet flights to Louisville, also.. ]
