    New Jags owner...self made billionaire from Urbana, IL and the U of I
    With sweat and smarts, Pakistan-born Shahid Khan built a $3.4 billion manufacturing juggernaut from the ruins of an Illinois auto parts maker. To celebrate, he just bought one of the worst teams in the NFL, with the pledge of a similar turnaround. Only in America, folks.


    Great article about a guy who will be featured on 60 minutes soon...
