Tom Oxley left legacy at FAU
By Marcus Nelson
It was quite sad to get the news Thursday that Tom Oxley had died.
Most people who follow FAU know Mr. Oxley gave a large donation to help the atheltics department in the late 1990s and the athletics center that is the cornerstone of the FAU athletics department.
What made the donation special was that Mr. Oxley was an alum of FAU - part of its first graduating class, in fact.
His unselfish act was one of the first that showed alums of the past could reconnect with the university through its football team.
He was bigger than FAU, however, making a large impression in the world of polo, but it's important that he receive recognition for what he did for Florida Atlantic.
These days his name is synonomous with FAU athletics as players often will say "Meet you at the Oxley" or say "Just left the Oxley."
I hope all athletes, coaches, staff and fans will remember what Mr. Oxley meant to the university he loved and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
