What about the Seal family? I know they donate a lot to academics



It does seem a lot of our big money people do little to help athletics. Which is a shame

Seals gave $1 million for the Seal Center back in the day and have given 10 times that to academics.

The Bishop family, that is worth $3 billion and founded an Energy company, gave $100 million earlier this year with the earmark that nothing goes to athletics.

The Seal family has donated at least 20 million to athletics since Mullen was hired. We have some alums who are worth far more than anc is insinuating. They are big oil people. People are slowly waking up though. We aren't the lowest in NIL either, not even second lowest now. But he's right about support. The academic side has seen a massive surge. State gets more academic money gifted than Ole Miss, but far less than them on the athletic side, outside of baseball. It's a matter of choice of organizational stewardship and education availability over football. It's hard for me to complain about that, really.

The Seal family is here to remind you that $150,000 is not $180,000.
