The only other school in Texas I can think of who recently got an $100M gift too was Baylor.

They probably spent nearly that much on that monstrosity of a house they built at Highland and Bluebonnet.

Very nice. Good for State 
I think this was surpassed last year.

The total in earmarks Richard Shelby appropriated to the University of Alabama from federal funds would dwarf anything on that list.

Based on past value of the money, the LSU gift would be the second largest in terms of impact at the time it was given.
$125,000,000 in 1981 would have been worth $247,387,238.72 in 2002 (year picked to easier compare with the Arkansas and Texas donations).

Just an interesting (to me at least) bit of info. Ultimately, they’re all enormous sums.
