1,2,3,6,9,10 apparently need even more money, and 4 & 8 must have gotten most of their money 10 years ago

The rankings are bogus. LSU should be given a lot more credit.
Mark 12:44 and all that.

Isn’t Johnny responsible for like $720M of our donations? Dang that Heisman raised a lot of money.

Awful lot of failure on that list.

Kansas and Louisville surprise me
Nebraska being 42 below even the Mississippi schools is shocking considering their level of fan support

I think that guy at Northwestern probably makes the list. Thought he just gave 1/2 billion to 1 billion to his alma mater.

All that money and nothing to show for it.

Mizzou, Arkansas, and Memphis would get more money, but the Walton’s like to spread their money around and for some reason spend it on academics. Just about any school you go to in Missouri will have a building with a Walton name on it.
