Sure you have your Davis Wade's (founder of AFLAC) but they are making one time donations. Hell, one of State's richest alums has a SEC rival coach in their commercial. Those guys don't GAF about Mississippi State football.

Floyd Davis Wade Sr., supporter of Mississippi State athletics and other programs, died Saturday, Sept. 7, 2002, in Meridian. Wade was reared in Newton County, and some say he knew the state as well as a timber man. He was the co-founder of and director for AFLAC.

Wade is most noted for his gifts to MSU. The football stadium expansion was initiated largely due to Wade's financial contributions. Wade, who was a longtime supporter of Bulldog athletics, made a financial commitment to aid MSU in beginning the expansion in 1999.
