I’m sure he had many successes in his life, but to quote from the article, Pascal...
“helped the Blue Devils to a three-year record of 22-6-3 including three ACC championships and a 34-7 win over Nebraska in the Orange Bowl on January 1, 1955. Duke did not lose an ACC contest during Pascal's career, posting a perfect 12-0 ledger while finishing each season ranked in at least one of the two major national polls...(50+ years go by, and Duke dedicates)...
the Pascal Field House, an 80,000-square foot structure featuring a 120-yard football playing surface located at the Brooks Practice Facility. The building is named for Bob Pascal, who provided a lead gift of $6 million for the project.”
In between, he developed a propane business and served as a state senator. I’m assuming the wealth came from the former. Kudos...
