    Oklahoma State gets $165 million

    Oil magnate Boone Pickens likes to win. And with the largest donation to an athletic program in NCAA history, Pickens hopes his alma mater will be able to compete with any school in the country.
    Pickens announced Tuesday he has donated $165 million to Oklahoma State to help create an athletic village north of the football stadium that already bears the name of the 77-year-old Texan.
    Pickens’ money will go toward creating a bowl in the football stadium’s west end zone — a project that will cost $120 million — and toward the creation of an athletic village north of the football stadium.
    “I believe that developing teams that are competitive in all sports requires the best facilities possible,” Pickens said in a statement.
