Pickens is a big donor to Oklahoma State, which was still Oklahoma A&M when he graduated in 1951, and the school's football stadium was re-dedicated as Boone Pickens Stadium in 2003.

Now the oil tycoon and hedge fund manager is offering Bryant a chance to have his name on the field where the receiver starred in college, although he does warn that the price for the naming rights is fairly high.
