Former Dallas Cowboys and UCLA Bruins QB Troy Aikman Making $1 Million Donation to UCLA

Troy Aikman is one of the best quarterbacks the Dallas Cowboys have ever had and is certainly one of the best that ever came out of UCLA. During his time in the NFL he was able to win three Super Bowls, was named the MVP of one, and was named to the Pro Bowl six times. He has been enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the College Football Hall of Fame, and is in the Cowboys Ring of Honor.

After donating a cool million to his alma mater he is going to have a strength and conditioning center named after him.

On Monday UCLA announced that Aikman had committed to donating $1 million to the Wasserman Football Center:

"There is no better role model for our UCLA student-athletes than Troy Aikman,” said Director of Athletics Dan Guerrero. “Not only was Troy committed to making the most of his UCLA experience on the field, he was committed to finishing what he started in the classroom as well, returning to school to complete his degree. Today, he is demonstrating this commitment as an alumnus, giving back to the place where he laid the foundation for a remarkable career both on and off the field.....”

In return the new state of the art building will be named The Troy Aikman Strength and Conditioning Center. For a million bucks you'd think they would have the next five starting quarterbacks change their names to Troy Aikman, but I suppose a strength and conditioning center may be easier.
