When boosters die
Every school has its athletic boosters. But not every school has a Phil Knight or T. Boone Pickens. Oregon and Oklahoma State's athletics fortunes have soared not in small measure because of their financial backing.

But what will happen to those fortunes when their sponsors die? Both those gentlemen are pretty advanced in years. Will we see billion dollar athletics endowments when their estates are settled? Or will those endowments go instead to the universities as a whole, and not just to athletics?

Are any other universities facing a similar situation, or are these two unique in the magnitude of the impact a single booster has in their athletic departments?
