But..but..what about the football team? $130M for education when we're only winning 9 or 10 games a year. Sheesh.

Seriously though, that's awesome.

Guess that’s the only big donor we really have?

Depends on your definition of a big donor. Obviously when talking about whales the Haslams are in a League of their own.

I would say we have some great white sharks behind them though:

John Tickle as in Tickle College of Enfineering

Min Kao(Garmin) Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciend Building

Charlie Ergen- Dish

Athleticcs:

Thunder Thornton

Larry Pratt

Maybe Peyton

My definition of Big is if your name is on a College or Business.

What about ol Roy here?? He's a big UT donor.

$0 to athletics

$0 to athletics

Of course not. Donating to the AD means the money won't go to into the NIL pool, and NIL is how the players are given their outsized payouts. That's all the players want now anyway.

It’s to make up for 15 years of running us into the ground!

 

[BruisedOrange]

I got excited thinking HCOB might be related to @CobbWebb71
Oh, well.
Maybe Publishers Clearinghouse will come through this year for ya, bro!

Haslam College of Business

I will just say I’m very thankful for the Haslam family generosity to UT in so many areas and to Knoxville and Tennessee generally. Everyone should be in my opinion.

Even the people and companies Pilot/Flying J defrauded while Jimmy was CEO?

 

[AllMidSouth65]

Jimmy proved he was was not aware of the scam. Never indicted or charged. And Pilot repaid every trucker or company that was shorted money by the fraud.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Guess that’s the only big donor we really have?

Well there's the guy named Pratt with buildings named after him that was sitting next to Peyton and CRB at the CWS couple year ago

 

[TCNC53]

Guess that’s the only big donor we really have?

No. Not even close. There are others, but they don’t get the attention Haslam does and likely don’t want it. UT has some strong donors.

Sure wish my daddy started Pilot Oil.

 

[GetEmVols]

Charlie Ergen is worth more than Haslam family but that doesn’t mean he donates as much.
