Gives single biggest atheltic donation in school history but isnt close to UH's biggest donor? Hmm..

It helps because the more Fertitias name is associated w winning/wealth the more his brand helps UH. He's not super famous like Cuban, but buying the rockets moves the needle for his brand, and thus UH.

he gave $20 million in 2016.

The Moores family gave over $51 million in 1991 to UH. Over half of it went to athletics.

Other families that have donated $20+ million to UH include the Cullen, Robertson, Winston, O'Quinn, McGovern, Hines, and Mitchell families.

John Moore gave the biggest donation up to that time, in the country to UH. Which was unheard of at that time. He was the start of the mega donor trend we see today at universities
