Along with the governor and speaker of the house. And at some point later this year, an ASU alum will own controlling interest in the second largest bank in Arkansas. Funny thing is he wanted to buy the naming rights to ASU Stadium and his board of directors blocked it. So he simply bought the bank that ended up with the naming rights.

I lost count of how many there were. He was also in Rustler's Rhapsody, which is a highly underrated flick.
