Jerry Jones, owner of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys, was a starting offensive lineman for the 1964 Arkansas Razorbacks, who went 11-0 and were named national champions by the Football Writers Association of America. Jones graduated from the University of Arkansas in 1965 with a business degree and earned a master's in 1970. He sold insurance during college and later found success in oil and gas. In 1989, he bought the Cowboys for over $160 million, turning around a team losing $1 million per month. The franchise has won three Super Bowls under his leadership and is valued at $13 billion. Jones and his wife donated $10.65 million to the UA athletic department in 2015. He was inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 1999 and the Arkansas Business Hall of Fame in 2010.
