Boyd gave thousands to new PAC before UT appointment

Randy Boyd

In the weeks after he lost the Republican nomination for governor and before he was appointed interim president of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville businessman Randy Boyd gave $85,000 to a new fundraising group, which has been disbursing funds to several Republicans around the state.

Boyd gave the money to the Growth and Opportunity PAC in two installments on Sept. 14 and Sept. 18, the only two donations to the group as of Oct. 1. The fundraising organization was established on Sept. 12, with Knoxville attorney Culver Schmid as its registered agent, according to state records.
