T. Boone Pickens May Pledge Large Gift to Oklahoma State U.
October 27, 2008
The entrepreneur and philanthropist T. Boone Pickens may soon announce a large pledge to the Oklahoma State University athletics fund, reports Tulsa World.
An anonymous source says the gift will be $63-million. According to the newspaper, Mr. Pickens has said that he “will replenish” the athletics fund due to the fact that its value has declined by 60 percent during the economic downturn.
Mr. Pickens ranked No. 8 on The Chronicle’s most recent list of the 50 most-generous donors in the United States.
