I do not think we have anyone like T Boone (btw his donation ended up costing the school tens of millions when his hedge fund went bad), knight etc...but TAF lists all the people who have endowed scholarships...and they are linked here

Toni and Emmet Stephenson dwarf all others.

Academic donors give much more than athletic donors.

The Pennington gift was to the LSU system, not LSU proper.

Generally speaking, LSU doesn't have any "bigtime" donors compared to other schools. Nothing like a at T. Boone Pickens or a George Lucas. They aren't the type to give $100 million and start running the place.

The largest single gift to LSU proper was $25 million.

Corporations rarely give more than a couple million at a time and their gifts are loaded with demands.

Individuals are LSUs best donors.
