Oklahoma State announced on Thursday that it will unveil a permanent bronze statue of T. Boone Pickens on Nov. 28 prior to the football team’s game against Texas Tech.
The statue is 9-feet-tall and will serve to memoralize the OSU legend, who died last year at age 91. An Oklahoma A&M alum, Pickens donated upwards of $600 million over the years and helped transform the football program as part of a dynamic tag-team effort with Mike Holder and Mike Gundy. His $165 million gift in 2005 to OSU still stands as the single largest gift for athletics in NCAA history.
