T. Boone Pickens was larger than life in a lot of ways.
His fortune was monstrous, his personality was bold and the stadium bearing his name is a behemoth of a structure that towers over the rest of Oklahoma State University and the little town of Stillwater, Oklahoma.
Pickens, who died Wednesday at the age of 91, famously donated $165 million to OSU athletics in January 2006, which is the largest single donation in NCAA history, and forever attached his name to the program. Pickens gained his fortune by working his way up in the oil and gas industries and became world-renowned for his investment ventures and political involvement.
