The rise in fundraising for the Razorback Foundation can in part be attributed to a land gift from Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and his wife, Gene.

The foundation listed a "fair market value" of $8.7 million for a single real estate gift in its 2014 annual report required by the Internal Revenue Service.
