I'm a $2,800 donor and I drive a Dodge Stratus!

Seriously, I'm certain we don't have a Boone Pickens. We do have a lot of mid-range donors though.

Bob Brooks kids went to sakerlina and CCU's stadium is named after him. CL Benton and Sons donates a large amount. Rumor around Myrtle Beach was that they put up the money to remodel the West End Zone few years back.

Rich Merritt?!?
In all seriousness, probably John Edwards is the closest we have to Pickens/Knight/Plank.

Carl Sobisinski (sp?) is a great booster, one of the nicest dudes ever
Jan 9, 2015, 12:05 PM

He owns Sobi's in Greenville and numerous restaurants around the south. He's a great dude and even established a scholarship in my late uncle's name when he passed. I cannot express how great of a guy he is. Carl is genuinely a class act.
