Not even the Walton family?

Other than Bud paying for the basketball arena, they haven't given much to athletics.

They've given plenty to the University (probably at least half a billion plus). In 2002 they gave a $300MM donation which at the time was the single largest gift ever to a public university. About a year before, they gave $50MM to the business school.

And they've given plenty more since.

Now a lot of "Walmart made" money has certainly gone towards athletics, but not directly from the family.

Is he dressed in drag? We'd like the AU Mt. Rushmore to be as realistic as possible.

I would add a lot of athletes but our legendary baseball broadcaster Jim Ellis would be top 5.

Nacho guy deserves a statue at least.

Calm, cool and collected in all matters should count for something

Rupp, Bryant, Joe B. Hall & John Schlarman

Schlarman had more guts and courage than anyone and that gets him on the mountain.

For players: Issel, Mashburn, Babe Parilli and Cobb

It would appear you need to redefine your best years since that arrogant prick made that statement. The last 10 years haven't been pretty for ya. Well done in destroying another conference btw.
