Kansas has received an unprecedented $300 million gift from donor David Booth, believed to be among largest single gifts in history of college sports




Imagine having a chunk of disposable income so substantial that it could have a gigantic impact on medical research or a philanthropic goal and you toss the money at a modern day gladiatorial sport known for its contribution to CTE🤣🤣🤣
 

Did a quick read and he has donated half his wealth. Seems like a smart guy (finance) who has chosen to give much back. U of C business school named after him after another large donation.
 


This guy thinks he's T. Boone Pickens.

According to Oklahoma State, Pickens donated $652M to OSU in his lifetime, split between academics and athletics. His largest one-time gift was $165M (in 2007). He also helped design (and personally financed) a life insurance program for mega-donors that led to lawsuits with the insurance company and ultimately cost the university more than $30M. We should all aspire to be this magnanimous and conniving.
