Former Miami Hurricane Ken Hunt donates $1.5 million to endow running back scholarship
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A one-time University of Miami running back has donated $1.5 million to the school, the largest gift made to the Hurricanes from one of its former athletes.
The gift from T. Kendall "Ken" Hunt will fund a full scholarship in perpetuity to a running back on the football team.
Hunt earned a football letter from Miami in 1962, but his playing career was cut short when he was accidentally shot above his left ankle at a sport-shooting range. The school honored his scholarship through his graduation from Miami and Hunt is now Chairman and CEO of VASCO Data Security International.
