I get why they do it but a little tacky IMO. I'd much rather have a name of a great figure in LSU Football history up there.

Through the years Moran has given millions.
The exact amounts I do not know, although there have been reports of ten million for the athletic center.

It looks like the way it's constructed, only the Scotty Moran portion could be backlit.

The sign was designed by an A&M graduate.

Self made businessman from DeSoto Parish.
Oil and Gas and timber.
Put together property over the years the hard way and drilled lots of his own, shallow wells. Lives modestly.
Loves LSU and put up billboards etc on side of I-49 abt. LSU football.
My guess is he never asked for a thing in exchange for the cheese he gave, and that the recognition on the sign was LSU's idea.
The thanks he gets from some posters is to be called a "douche nozzle", without knowing more.
