Sadly, as of 2-3 years ago, he is no longer with us.

All the Samples I know are way too highfalutin for LSU. Of the others you named, only Anderson gives enough to have stuff named after him.


When they unvelied the Champions Plaza, they mentioned those families specifically as contributing. I don't know if they have plaques or whatever around the plaza but the radio broadcast before the game singled out those 4 families in addition to Mr. Moran.

And yes, they are high-falutin (I love that word)

Tracy Krohn probably has quite a low TAF ranking.


I've never seen his name on anything LSU related. I work in the same building as him and walk by a different ferrari, porshe, or some natural gas powered corvette in his spot everyday.

He always wears the colors of his ferrari team too, lime green and blue.

Maybe he doesn't like football?

Anyway, he's one of the top 2 or 3 LSU Alumni, money-wise that I know of.

I can't find a mention of his name for any LSU donating, not just athletics.

The T Boone thing was a MASSIVE F-up for OSU in the end..link below..better to have a bunch of 100K givers than people who have so much they try and run things....Richard Gill gave $$$ but alos major time and effort, he is a true booster and IMO great man all who knew him miss...

That is clearly TAF's position, as well. I can't say I disagree, philosophically.

Its also better in the long run T. Boone is going to die someday and even if he has a fund for OSU its going to run out someday.

If you have a ton of 100k donors alot of those peoples kids will be 100k donors too someday

Alabama has a bunch of a 100k donors. its a rule in the state you must leave 50% of your inheritance to Tuscaloosa. All kidding aside they have a bunch of 20-30k donors. Texas sits in the catbird seat with probably the most 7 figure and 6 figure donors.
