    Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has pledged $1 million to the Oklahoma athletics department, his launching pad for a stellar NFL career. The university announced the donation Thursday. It will go toward construction of a new student housing facility and establish a football scholarship endowment in Peterson's name. The university says this is the largest gift to the athletics department from a former football player. Peterson says he's been thinking about doing this "for a long time" and that he always hoped to be in a position to give back once he left school.
