Parts Unknown
With minimal research:

Ryan Smith - BYU (Utah Jazz Owner)
David Booth- KU
Tillman Fertitta - Houston
Cody Campbell - Texas Tech
Boone Pickens Estate - Okie State
Koch Brothers/Family - Kansas State (unsure how much goes to athletics)
John Justin - TCU (Justin Industries/Justin Boots acquired by Berkshire Hathaway)
If the Koch's are giving to KSU they aren't opening up their wallets. I'd say its way more likely engineering stuff for r&d they fund. Yeah I somehow keep forgetting BYU is in the Conference. It doesn't surprise me they have deep pockets. Does the Pickens estate still give money to OSU? I was thinking that was more like a one time gift. Doesn't surprise me Houston or TCU has one either really. These ******* people could end world hunger and pay to find cures for horrible diseases. Good to see they spend their money on important things.

They are too busy pushing their political interests and funding “institutes” at Notre Dame

I think Pickens set up a 400 million dollar trust for OSU. That was before NIL. So not sure they can use any of that money for NIL

North Carolina gig could open up after this game and send shockwaves through the whole thing.
Do you think that one is possible? I haven't followed UNC since he was hired really but he always seemed a little underwhelming to me. His overall record looks good but figured that might not be the whole story .

******** NIL money. This feels like dealing with rich kids all over again. Pretty soon, they will kick all the poors out of the party so we can't even get an opportunity to punch em in the mouth.

Roy Rieman's estate. It would not surprise me if they are billionaires. The proceeds from selling his company approached $1 billion in '03.

BYU/their church has $100 billion under mgmt by three different advisory firms which are all owned by the church.

The Kochs are from Wichita. I’ve never heard they send money to KSU.

When it comes to NIL, 2 stand out. Cody Campbell, at TT. He seems like he'll go broke bankrolling TT to a national title.

BYU-the Mormons have money that makes Cody Campbell look like Eddie Murphy in Trading Places (before he got rich). They see bankrolling BYU as a way to advertise their church.
