Don't think it's been mentioned, but we're now falling behind Incarnate Word in terms of facilities. They're upgrading both baseball and softball stadiums. They're starting right now on new turf and some other smaller things, but they'll soon basically have a new stadium.

Gotcha. Didn't realize the Benson's had a San Antonio connection. I think McCombs has donated to them before as well.

Nacogdoches needs a few more billionaires.

Wow. Wow. We really need some fundraising muscle.

Do we know anyone that we're actually connected to that has that type of money (or close)? Not necessarily a billionaire or in Nacogdoches, but connected to SFA? I honestly have no idea.

Don Gaston owned the Celtics until 2003. Nac Native and SFA Alum.

I'd bet Mark Moseley has made a mint with 5 Guys.

There's a near billionaire out of Beaumont who's an SFA grad but his name escapes me.

Casey Coffman '89, New York, New York: Executive Vice President, Business Development and Operations for Madison Square Garden (MSG) Sports (owns and operates sports franchises, including the New York Knicks and the New York Rangers).... Not likely a billionaire but someone with connections who could help us raise sports money.

And I'd bet there are several very rich SFA grads who are great in business but not notable enough to have a Wikipedia page. (I kind of doubt the Cole's have one).
