Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has made history at his former college by handing over $1 million to fund football facilities at the University Of Miami. The Rock played football at Miami a decade ago and now becomes the most generous former student athlete in the school's history. The cash gift will help to fund renovation in the university's athletic department. The Miami Hurricanes' football locker room will be renamed in the actor's honor. In making the donation on Tuesday, Johnson said, "My wife Dany and I have always said that being a student athlete here at the University Of Miami has always been a tremendous part of our lives. I have said it time and time again, that this program was a launching pad for my success." Johnson and his wife met at the university. They announced their separation in June.

Awesome! I didn't know he went to UM. I'm going to go see one of their games in a couple of weeks. Watch them lose with my luck. A mil for football though? How much stuff do they need?

I wish someone would give that kind of cash to Baylor! A million won't go too far -- the new practice facility at Baylor is running around 30 million +!

I know Nikki! And it still probably won't be as nice as the one at UT or Oklahoma State or Texas A&M!
